The Darwin Test match was enough to disrupt the rankings. By putting everyone in surprise, the away team claimed a historic defeat against the hosts Australia. Australia, however, bounced back with pure force in the second of the two-match Test series, outplaying Bangladesh by an innings and 51 runs.
According to the ICC Men’s Test rankings, after playing 24 matches, the Bangladesh cricket team now has 78 ratings and 1898 points, while Sri Lanka and Pakistan are on 76 and 75 points, respectively.

Bangladesh, at fourth position with three wins, two defeats and one draw in 6 games, is one step ahead of the Indian cricket team.
Bangladesh will next face South Africa in Tests
The Men in Green are in England for a three-match Test series, which is crucial for them to do some justice to their pride. On the other side, the Bangladesh cricket team is scheduled to tour South Africa to face them for a couple of Test matches. The series will start on November 15 and will run till November 27.
On paper, South Africa, the defending World Test Champions, are the favourites to win the series, but it will be interesting to see if Bangladesh can manage to pull out another shocking result like the Darwin Test match against Australia.
