But things will be quite difficult for the Men in Green as they have a tough situation if they want the top spot in the limited-overs format.

The hosts must white-wash New Zealand in the three-match series (3-0) if they want the number one spot in the ICC ODI team rankings.

The first match of the three-match series will be played today, and the remaining matches will be played from January 11, 2023, till January 13, 2023.
