The Australia team pose with the trophy as they celebrate a 4-1 series win against South Africa
Australia dethroned India from the top position of the ICC ODI Team Rankings after defeating South Africa 4-1 in the five-match series which concluded in Sydney.
Four-time world champions Australia, who started the series in third position with 114 ratings points, finished on equal points with India on 117 ratings points.
However, when the ratings are calculated beyond the decimal point, Australia are 0.2 clear of India and five ratings points clear of South Africa, who dropped one place to third.
World champions, India however, have a chance to regain the top spot when they take part in the triangular ODI series, also featuring Australia and England, starting in Melbourne on January 16.
Fourth placed Sri Lanka host fifth placed England in a seven-ODI series which starts in Colombo on Wednesday and just one rating point separates the two teams.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh, who are placed 9th, are currently facing Zimbabwe in a five-match ODI series.
