Dublin, June 27: Virat Kohli-led Team India can displace Pakistan from the top spot in the ICC T20I Rankings if they manage to win all their upcoming five encounters.
The Men In Blue will be up against a lower ranked Ireland in two T20Is in Dublin followed by three 20-over games against England in the first week of July.

As per an ICC release, "Top-ranked Pakistan, second-ranked Australia and third-ranked India will all be seen in action in upcoming matches as the uppermost tiers of the ICC T20I Team Rankings have the potential to change over the next two weeks."
"India have the potential of reaching 127 points by winning their five matches. On the other hand, England could go up to 126 points if they beat Australia and then defeat India 3-0. India or England could reach the top spot if Zimbabwe are able to pull off a couple of upsets in the Tri-Series and depending on other results, Australia and Pakistan could be restricted to below those numbers," added the release.
Pakistan, who lead the table with 131 points, will be the favourites in the upcoming Zimbabwe Tri-Series to be played in Harare from 1-8 July, but the presence of Australia in the competition spices up the contests as the reigning ICC Cricket World Cup champions are only five points behind Pakistan and with a good chance to overtake them.
Irrespective of the result of Australia's one-off match against England ahead of the tournament, they can overtake Pakistan in the double-league if they win all their four matches against Pakistan and Zimbabwe. In such a scenario, they will move ahead of Pakistan even if the latter win both their matches against Zimbabwe.
Australia can go up to 137 points if they beat England, win their four league matches and beat Pakistan in the final, while Pakistan will similarly reach 136 points if they win all their four league matches and the final against Australia. Zimbabwe, currently placed 12th, will overtake Scotland on the points table even with a solitary win in the tournament.
Ireland, placed 17th on the points table, will overtake Oman if they win one match against India and will move to the 15th position, also ahead of Hong Kong, if they pull off a 2-0 series win.
