India's exhilarating six-run win over England in the fifth and concluding Test at The Oval has created a considerable shake-up in the ICC Men's Test Player Rankings, with Indian pace pair Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna achieving career-best rankings.

Siraj, Player of the Match for winning spells in both innings, climbed twelve places to the 15th ranking in the ICC Test Bowler Rankings. The right-arm quick is now on a career-high 674 rating points, after his brilliant bowling was a vital element in India's series-clinching win.

Joining him in the rankings surge is Prasidh Krishna, whose eight wickets at The Oval lifted him 25 places to 59th, also a personal best. Krishna now holds 368 rating points, as he continues to establish himself in the longer format.

England's fast bowling unit also saw a boost despite the narrow defeat. Gus Atkinson, one of the breakout stars of the summer, has broken into the top 10 Test bowlers for the first time, thanks to his eight-wicket haul. Josh Tongue, another standout performer, has risen 14 places to 46th in the latest update.

On the batting front, Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal continues his meteoric rise. Fresh off a century in The Oval Test, Jaiswal has climbed three positions to break into the top five Test batters, now sitting on 792 rating points. England's Joe Root and Harry Brook remain locked in at the top two spots.

Elsewhere in the Test arena, New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell has entered the top 10 Test batters following his consistency in the Zimbabwe series, moving up four places. Teammate Matt Henry is reaping the rewards of his red-ball resurgence, climbing to 4th among Test bowlers with a career-best 817 rating points.

T20I Movement: Tim David, Saim Ayub, and Holder Climb

In the T20I rankings, Australia’s Tim David surged two places to 16th in the Men’s T20I Batting Rankings after a powerful century against the West Indies. Pakistan’s Saim Ayub also made a big leap, climbing 25 places to 37th following his dazzling knocks in the USA leg of the West Indies tour.

West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder has made a notable move in the bowling department, rising 23 places to joint-32nd alongside South Africa’s Keshav Maharaj. Holder's consistency in picking up key wickets has made him the highest wicket-taker for his side in the shortest format.

With the 2025–27 ICC World Test Championship cycle gathering pace and planning and preparation ramping up for next year’s T20 World Cup, these moves come at a busy time in international cricket. As the red-ball and white-ball calendars continue to overlap, players making a mark in multiple formats are now being compensated accordingly, according to the latest ICC updates.

Australia are making easy work of West Indies so far with West Indies showing chinks after the loss of firepower. Their bowling has been disappointing with a decent batting performance but the Aussies are just looking too good particularly with the World Cup around the corner.

WI vs AUS Probable Winners:

The West Indies have struggled to contain Australia's formidable batting lineup in this T20I series. Their batting has proven pretty consistent, with scores of more than 200. However, poor bowling and sloppy fielding have cost them. Australia's bowling isn't great, but their powerful batting lineup, with incredible depth, is more than adequate on this small ground and flat pitch. Considering the team combination, Australia is expected to win this match.

WI vs AUS Match Preview

We are in the fourth game of a five-game series, and the hosts, West Indies, are struggling. They lost their last game by six wickets, allowing the Australians to take a commanding 3-0 lead. So far, the team has lost all of its games versus the visitors. To stand a chance against Australia, the West Indies must play positive cricket. The Australians have taken over the West Indies on this tour, with key members of the team performing well. They have won the past eight out of ten games among the two teams and will look to continue that streak.

WI vs AUS Probable Winners:

The West Indies have yet to win a game against the Aussies in this series. They've struggled in this way for the past two years, with few victories to celebrate. The bowling attack appears to be weak and must deliver a strong performance if the team is to win. The Australians have a formidable batting lineup, and their players have been clinical throughout this tour. Considering the team combination, Australia is expected to win this match.

WI vs AUS Match Preview

Australian players are in great form. In the first two games of the five-match series, they won consecutively. Josh Inglis, Cameron Green, and Mitchell Owen have been the driving forces behind their current winning streak. The third T20I of the series will take place at Warner Park in St Kitts. It is not a high-scoring venue, and unlike the two previous matches, the bowlers will have the advantage in this one. Adam Zampa is the one to watch in Australia's bowling attack. He and Glenn Maxwell broke through the Windies' top order in the second T20I, shifting the game's momentum in their favour.

WI vs AUS Probable Winners:

After losing the first T20I, the West Indies will be looking to level the series. This format generally suits them, and with the power-hitters they possess, they can put pressure on Australia—as long as they don't waste wickets. Nonetheless, the task is steep. Australia has won 13 of their last 15 in this format, included the series opener, and they appear to be full of confidence. Their batting lineup has more variety right now, and unless the West Indies can put a stop to the scoring early on, this could slip past them again. Considering the team combination, Australia is expected to win this match.

Australia began the 5-match T20I series in style (WI vs AUS). A debutant, Mitch Owen, shifted the momentum of the first T20I and took his team safely home. In his first ever innings with Team Australia, it came so fluently, and it seemed he had been doing this for ages. Along with a half century, Owen took a wicket while doing his bowling duties. Cameron Green was another batter who put up a massive fight back for the home team. Basically, the blistering innings from Green and Owen confirmed Australia's win over the West Indies in the first match of the series at Sabina Park. Other Aussie batters in the playing XI too will try to make impressions through an impactful innings. Ben Dwarshuis' destructive 4-wicket spell with the ball was one of the turning points of the game.

On the other side, the West Indies started their innings well with multiple in-form top-order batters. The middle overs lacked, right after the departures of Shimron Hetmyer and Roston Chase. Skipper Shai Hope was also brilliant with his fifty-plus knock. They could have captured more runs on the board if their middle order did not collapse. But the home team needs to work more on their bowling.

Australia start the series well with a struggling and challenging win. In both halves they looked down and out until the Australian never give up spirit came in to pull the game back. Some of the players got a chance to shine and the preparation is up and running for sure now. West Indies though will feel that they need to improve in closing things out as they did so many times in the Test series. They look good in parts but the whole is yet to come together. The next T20 though is about to be all about one man, Andre Russell. He leaves the international game after this and the West Indies will be hoping to do whatever they can to ensure he goes happy.

Their batting lineup has more variety right now, and unless the West Indies can put a stop to the scoring early on, this could slip past them again. Considering the team combination, Australia is expected to win this match.

A dream international debut for Micthell Owen. When he came to bat at Sabina Park as the number 6 batsman of Australia, they needed 113 runs to win the match off 70. Owen, under pressure, on his debut match in Australia colors, showed no sing of rust.

He did his job so precisely that Australia touched the desired mark before the end of 19th over. As a deserving candidate, Mitchell Owen got the man of the match award for his allround performance. Against West Indies, in the 1st of the 5-match T20I series, the emerging cricketer not only did wonders with the bat, also took the wicket of dengerous looking West Indies skipper Shai Hope.

Because of his 50 off 27 on his career's first international match, Owen became the only third Australia player to smacked half century on a debuted match after Ricky Ponting and David Warner. The 23-year-old in his innings chose to hit only over boundaries to match the required run rate. He touched the milestone with six 6s, without any boundaries.

Three sixes in an over

Akeal Hosein, one of the most effective bowlers for West Indies in the game, conceded three sixes in an over when he went against the young Aussie gun. Andre Russell, verge of retiring from international cricket, leaked 18.50 runs on average in his 2-over spell. Experienced West Indies allrounder Jason Holder also proved ineffective when he stepped up to counter the right-handed player.

Owen's blazing innings came when Australia was chasing a target of 190, loosing multiple top order batters cheaply. Then, Cameron Green (51) and Micthell Owen played the much required hands Australia required the most.

After clinching the three-match Test series 3-0, Australia will be gearing up for the 5-match T20I series against the West Indies (WI vs AUS 1st T20I). Despite having an evenly squared head-to-head record with the host nation, Australia will step into Sabina Park tomorrow morning (July 21, 2025) as the clear favorite to win the match. The lying equations on pen and paper might not reflect on the ground, as West Indies, the former T20I World Cup winners, are always an unpredictable side in the format. A whitewash in the Test series can spark their urge to win the T20I series multiple times. 

The series will mark Andre Russell's last few matches for his nation. The West Indies, with multiple power hitters and match-winning players like captain Shai Hope, Roston Chase, Shimron Hetmyer, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, and many others, can flip the script any time. Australia and the West Indies have faced each other in 22 T20Is so far, where both teams claim 11 victories each. In the previous two encounters, West Indies emerged as the better team over Australia.
