The decision to bat first steered clear their agressivness to maintain their position in the ODIs. The men in blue chased out West Indies in the last match of ODI series on Wednesday clinging to their 3rd position in the ODI list.

With KL Rahul not on board, the Shikhar Dhawan lead team displayed full strength taking over the Carribean side with an emphatic 119-run victory in the third and final match.

The victory boosted their rating to a total of 110 and some four rating points clear of arch-rival Pakistan (106), who is in the fourth place.

New Zealand in the list sits alone at the top of the team ODI rankings with a rating of 128, while England (119) remain in second place despite their recent series loss to India and drawn series against South Africa. Pakistan likewise has maintained their position at number 4.

India have their own three-game ODI series that will take place at a similar time, with a quick-fire tour of Zimbabwe during the middle of August.
