Both India and England are going to lock their horns in the quadrennial tournament on June 30.
The match will have a lot of significance as its outcome will play a major role in determining who will stay ahead on the rankings table.
However, if India lose to West Indies (in the ongoing match) but managed to overpower the hosts of the tournament, they will still stay atop the list as they will have 122 points in their kitty while England will stay on 121 points.
After India and England, it is New Zealand and Australia who follow in 3rd and 4th with 114 and 112 points respectively. The fifth position is secured by South Africa (109), who are not part of the semi-final race in the World Cup 2019 after a dismal performance.
