Ireland goes top of the ICC Associate ODI Rankings

Dubai, Jan 18 (UNI) Ireland has gone top of the ICC Associate ODI Rankings after previous leader Scotland was beaten by Kenya in a one-day international in Mombasa.

The rankings, which indicate how the five teams below the top 11 are faring, look set to change further over the coming weeks with the ICC World Cricket League and ICC Cricket World Cup on the horizon and with all those sides set to play a large number of ODIs.

Kenya today beat Scotland by 192 runs, dropping the Scots' win rate down to 71 per cent, four percentage points below Ireland.

Scotland will get the chance to repair some of the damage as it takes on Canada, lying at the bottom in rankings, in Mombasa.

A win for Canada, on the other hand, will lift it off the bottom of the table and above Bermuda into fourth place.

Currently, the ICC Associates ODI Rankings does not include Kenya and it will continue to appear on the main LG ICC ODI Championship until 2009.
