India displaced New Zealand to claim the top spot in the ICC World Cup 2023 points table after registering a thumping 7-wicket win over arch-rivals Pakistan.

Both India and New Zealand are tied at six points but India are in the top spot for their brilliant net run rate. India's current net run rate is +1.821 while New Zealand's is +1.604. South Africa is the only other team apart from India and New Zealand to keep an all-win record and is in the third spot with four points. They have the best net run rate and if they win their next match against the Netherlands, then they will take the No.1 spot in the World Cup points table.
