As far as the Indian players are concerned, there hasn’t been any activity lately because the squad hasn’t played since the January–February home series against England.Tim Seifert and Finn Allen, New Zealand’s opening duo, as well as new-ball bowler Jacob Duffy, have significantly improved their player rankings after assisting their team in taking a 2-0 lead against Pakistan in the five-match Twenty20 International series.
The highlight of the second encounter in Dunedin, where New Zealand chased a target of 136 with 11 balls remaining and five wickets in hand, was a 66-run blitz in which seven of the first eight scoring shots of the innings were sixers. Seifert and Allen had excellent opening stands in both games.With contributions of 29 not out off 17 and 38 off 16, Allen has risen eight spots to 18th place, while Sifert, who smacked 44 off 29 in the first match in Christchurch and 45 off 22 in the second, has advanced 20 spaces to 13th place.
Duffy has moved up 23 spots to a career-best 12th rank after taking six wickets in the two games, including a career-best four for 14 in the first game that New Zealand won by nine wickets with nearly ten overs remaining.Ish Sodhi (up two spots to 36th), Ben Sears (up 22 spots to 67th), Zakary Foulkes (up 41 spots to 90th), and Haris Rauf (up four spots to 26th) of Pakistan were among the other players who improved in the most recent weekly rankings.
