How the ratings work

The ICC team rankings give every side a rating from its recent results, weighted by the strength of the opposition, so a win over a higher-rated team is worth more. Tests, ODIs and T20Is each have their own table, which is why England and South Africa can rank differently in each format. A higher rating means stronger recent form over the last few years, not a guarantee for any single game.
