#WT20
Kohli and Badree to enter knockout stage as top ranked batsman and bowler
· Root vaults 38 places to 11th, Afghanistan players also on the charge
· Shane Watson retires as number-one ranked T20I all-rounder
· India holds on to No.1 spot, New Zealand leapfrogs West Indies and South Africa into second position
Four of the top five sides on the MRF Tyres ICC T20I Rankings will feature in the semi-finals of the ICC World Twenty20 India 2016, which will be played in Delhi and Mumbai on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.
Number-one ranked India will go head to head with third-ranked West Indies in Mumbai on Thursday, while in the first semi-final in Delhi on Wednesday, second-ranked New Zealand will square-off against fifth-ranked England.
India has retained its pre-tournament ranking as well as points, while the West Indies has gained two points to move to 120. This means both the former champions, who each won three of their four second round matches, are now separated by seven points.
In contrast, New Zealand, which has been the only unbeaten side in the competition to date, has earned six points to rise to 122 and has consequently moved up two places to second. Its semi-final opponent and 2010 champion, England, has also collected three points and is now seven points behind on 115 after winning three of its four matches.
This comparison reflects that the knockout stage of the ICC World Twenty20 India 2016 promises to be as exciting, entertaining and thrilling as displayed in the 32 matches to date.
Meanwhile, there has been a reshuffling of the pack in the MRF Tyres ICC T20I Player Rankings as leading performers have been rewarded for their good performances.
India's Virat Kohli, who averages 92 after scoring 184 runs in four matches at a strike-rate of over 132, has reclaimed the number-one batting position. Kohli had entered the tournament 24 points behind Aaron Finch, but has now opened up a 68-point advantage over the Australian.
England's Joe Root has rocketed 38 places to career-high 11th after scoring168 runs in four matches at a strike-rate of 150. The Yorkshireman has gained 105 points in the tournament to date as he now has Zimbabwe's eighth-ranked Hamilton Masakadza firmly within his sights.
Martin Guptill is New Zealand's highest-ranked batsman after the opener has moved up two places to third following his contribution of 125 runs in three matches at a strike-rate of over 162.
West Indies' flamboyant Chris Gayle has gained one place and is now ranked sixth after scoring 104 runs in two innings at a stunning strike-rate of 208.
In the bowlers' table, West Indies' Samuel Badree has returned in number-one position. Badree has taken six wickets in four matches to date, while India's Ravichandaran Ashwin has dropped from number-one spot to third after managing just four wickets in as many matches.
New Zealand's Adam Milne and India's trio of Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah and Ashish Nehra are the bowlers who have made impressive gains and are expected to feature in the final leg of what has been a highly-competitive tournament to date.
Milne's three wickets in three matches have helped him rise six places to sixth, Jadeja's four wickets in four matches have moved him up three places to seventh, Bumrah's three wickets in four matches have lifted him 13 places to 13th and Nehra has leaped 14 places to 16th following his four wickets in as many matches.
Shane Watson of Australia has signed off on his T20I career as the number-one ranked all-rounder. In the batting charts, Watson finished in 10th spot (up by three places) after scoring 96 runs, while he has ended up in 29th spot (up by five places) in the bowlers' list after taking five wickets in four matches.
Afghanistan, which consistently produced solid performances and eventually caused the biggest upset of the tournament to date by defeating the West Indies, has seen a number of players head in an upward direction.
In the batting table, opener Mohammad Shahzad is now eighth (up by three places), while Asghar Stanikzai is 47th (up by six places). In the bowlers' table, Mohammad Nabi is ninth (up by 11 places), Rashid Khan is 11th (up by 68 places) and Hamza Hotak is 18th (up by 22 places).
Batsmen to improve their rankings but will no more feature in the tournament include South Africa's Hashim Amla (12th, up by nine places), Sabbir Rahman of Bangladesh (16th, up by four places), Quinton de Kock of South Africa (17th, up by seven places) and Australia's Glenn Maxwell (20th, up by 11 places).
Bowlers to head in the right direction are South Africa's Kyle Abbott (fifth, up by six places), James Faulkner of Australia (eighth, up by 28 places), Mustafizur Rahman of Bangladesh (19th, up by eight places), Australia's Nathan Coulter-Nile (20th, up by 27 places) and Kagiso Rabada of South Africa (22nd, up by seven places).
While the team rankings will be updated after each match, the player rankings will now be updated after the final of the ICC World Twenty20 India 2016.

Australia, England on course for semi-finals, Pakistan stay in hunt - #wt20
Three-time defending champion Australia and title contender England recorded important wins on Thursday to step closer to the semi-finals of the ICC Women's World Twenty20.
Australia, winner of the last three editions in 2010, 2012 and 2014, bounced back after a morale-sapping loss to New Zealand to thump Sri Lanka by nine wickets in New Delhi.
England, the winner of the inaugural edition in 2009 and runners-up to Australia in the last two tournaments, squeaked past the West Indies by one wicket in a last-ball thriller in Dharamsala.
Pakistan too kept its hopes alive with a nine-wicket demolition of Bangladesh in New Delhi, its second victory in three matches.
England and the West Indies faced each other level on four points each, but the hard-earned win on Thursday put Charlotte Edwards' girls ahead in the race for the semi-finals from Group B.
The West Indies was restricted to 108 for four after electing to bat with skipper Stafanie Taylor top-scoring with 35 and Shaquana Quintyne making 29.
Riding on Tammy Beaumont's 31 and Edwards'30, England moved to a comfortable 59 for no loss in eight overs when six wickets tumbled in the space of 24 runs.
England, which had lost eight wickets while chasing a target of 91 against India on Tuesday, began the last over from Deandra Dottin needing seven runs with two wickets in hand.
Anya Shrubsole scored two each off the first two balls before being bowled off the fourth. But Dottin bowled a wide off the fifth and conceded a bye off the last ball to hand England victory.
"We were very nervous in the dug-out," said Beaumont. "Having batted and been out, there was nothing much I could do except sit and watch and hope the girls pull it off. This is what they were able to do."
Taylor said the West Indies failed to get a good start with the ball. "We did not get early wickets but it was good to pull it back a bit in the end. Our spinners bowled well which is a positive we can take from the match,"
Sri Lanka, electing to bat against Australia, made a promising start through skipper Chamari Atapattu and wicket-keeper Dilani Manodara to reach 75 for one in the 11th over.
Both batters scored 38 each, but Australia fought back to restrict Sri Lanka to 123 for eight after 20 overs as Megan Schutt and Kristen Beams picked up two wickets each.
The Southern Stars raced past the target with 14 deliveries to spare after Elyse Villani (53 not out) and skipper Meg Lanning (56 not out) put on 98 for the unbroken second wicket.
Australia jumped to second place in Group A with its second win in three games and must defeat Ireland in New Delhi on Saturday to advance to the semi-finals.
New Zealand heads the group with three straight wins.
"At one stage it looked we were probably going to chase 140-150 but our bowlers did a great job to peg them back," said Lanning. "Its nice to have a pretty comprehensive win.
"We have so much talent in our top order but we just have not been able to put it on the park enough. I look forward to the challenge ahead."
Atapattu blamed the defeat on her team's performance in the field. "Our bowling and fielding were not very good which is very disappointing," the Sri Lankan captain said.
Meanwhile, Pakistan dominated Bangladesh from start to finish in New Delhi to draw level with the West Indies with four points each after three matches.
Anam Amin and Asmavia Iqbal shared four wickets as Bangladesh, electing to bat, was kept down to 113 for nine with Fargana Hoque being the principal scorer with 36.
Pakistan coasted home in the 17th over after Bismah Maroof hit an unbeaten 43 and Sidra Ameen made 53 not out during an unbroken second-wicket partnership of 99 runs.
Pakistan plays England in its last match in Chennai on Sunday, while the West Indies takes on India in Mohali the same day.
Pakistan captain Sana Mir was delighted at the emphatic win. "Extremely proud of the way we have played the last few matches," she said.
"We have been following England's progress and we think we have a very good chance of beating them and playing the semis."

Hosts India to enter ICC World Twenty20 India 2016 as the Number-one ranked T20I side
#WT20
India to enter ICC World Twenty20 India 2016 as the number-one ranked T20I side
· Only 18 points separate Dhoni's side from eighth-ranked defending champion Sri Lanka
· Host side aims to become the first team to lift the silverware in front of home crowd; South Africa hopes to end 18-year title drought; Australia targets missing trophy in its collection
· Equally talented, matched and resourced sides lock horns in first round of the tournament on Tuesday in Nagpur
· Finch, Ashwin and Watson to start as highest-ranked batsman, bowler and all-rounder respectively
The sixth edition of the tournament, to be held in India for the first time, will start on Tuesday when 13th-ranked Zimbabwe takes on 14th-ranked Hong Kong in Nagpur, which will be followed by the match between ninth-ranked Afghanistan and 11th-ranked Scotland. The second round will kick off on 15 March, also in Nagpur, when India goes head to head with New Zealand. The final will be played at Eden Gardens on 3 April.
The 10-team women's competition will also be played alongside the men's second round with the semi-finals and final to take place before the men's knock-out matches at the same venues.
India's number-one ranking was sealed late Sunday evening after Mahendra Singh Dhoni's side won the Asia Cup in Mirpur, hours after Australia had chased down South Africa's 204 to level the three-match series at one-all. Irrespective of which side now wins the series in Cape Town on Wednesday, it will not be enough to dislodge India from the top pedestal.
India, which won the inaugural event in South Africa and finished runner-up in Bangladesh two years ago, is on 127 points, nine points clear of 2012 winner West Indies and South Africa, who are on equal points (118). New Zealand is fourth on 116, followed by 2010 winner England in fifth, 2010 losing finalist Australia in sixth, 2009 champion Pakistan in seventh and defending champion Sri Lanka in eighth.
These eight sides qualified directlyfor the second round after finishing inside the top eight of the MRF Tyres ICC T20I Rankings as on 30 April 2015. Tenth-ranked Bangladesh and Zimbabwe have been joined in the first round by Afghanistan, Hong Kong, 15th-ranked Ireland, 12th-ranked Netherlands, 11th-ranked Scotland and 16th-ranked Oman, who qualified for the tournament proper after claiming the top six positions in the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier 2015 in Ireland and Scotland.
Bangladesh, Ireland, Netherlands and debutant Oman are in Group A, while Afghanistan, Hong Kong, Scotland and Zimbabwe are in Group B. If rankings have anything to do with qualification, then Bangladesh and Afghanistan should progress from Group A and B respectively. But it would not be wise to under-estimate the strength, talent, experience and ability of Ireland and Netherlands as well as Zimbabwe and Scotland. This means plenty of action and tight finishes are in store in the first-round matches.
Since the ICC World Twenty20 Bangladesh 2014, India has played 16 matches and has won 11, including 10 out of 11 T20Is this year. And this is reflected in the MRF Tyres ICC T20I Player Rankings which boasts a number of its players enjoying high rankings.
In the batting table, Virat Kohli is second and is followed by Rohit Sharma (11th), Suresh Raina (16th), Yuvraj Singh (22nd), Dhoni (43rd) and Shikhar Dhawan (48th). In the absence of Sunil Narine, second-ranked Ravichandran Ashwin will start as the highest-ranked bowler while Ravindra Jadeja is 11th, Jasprit Bumrah is 27thand Yuvraj is 43rd. Yuvraj is also India's highest-ranked all-rounder in sixth position.
West Indies' charge will once again be led by Chris Gayle, who is occupying the seventh position. The other top-ranked West Indies batsmen are Marlon Samuels (19th), Dwayne Bravo (32nd) and Dwayne Smith (50th), while 49th-ranked Bravo is its highest-ranked bowler. Captain Darren Sammy is 74th in the batting table, 62nd in the bowlers' category and 25th in the all-rounders' list.
South Africa, which is searching for its first ICC major since winning the ICC Champions Trophy 1998 (then called ICC Knock-Out), has all the ammunition it needs to go the full distance. Since the ICC World Twenty20 Bangladesh 2014, it has won 10 out of 16 matches. It boasts as many as six batsmen inside the top 50, led by captain Faf du Plessis in third, JP Duminy in 15th, Hashim Amla in 21st, Quinton de Kock in 24th, David Miller in 28th and AB de Villiers in 34th. Its bowlers also feature prominently in the list with Imran Tahir in third, David Wiese in eighth, Kyle Abbott in 12th, Kagiso Rabada in 30th and Dale Steyn in 45th.
Australia will be aiming to complete a Career Grand Slam by winning the missing ICC World Twenty20 India 2016. And though it has lost more than 50 per cent of matches it has played since the ICC World Twenty20 Bangladesh 2014 (played 10, won four, lost six to date), it remains a force to be reckoned with in this format. Australia's Aaron Finch will start as the number-one ranked batsman, while its other top batsmen are David Warner (ninth), Shane Watson (13th) and Glenn Maxwell (31st). Its highest-ranked bowlers are Watson and Maxwell, who share 35th spot, while James Faulkner is 37th. Watson will start the tournament as world's best all-rounder with Maxwell in seventh position.
Sides featuring in the first-round matches from 8-13 March in Dharamsala and Nagpur include a number of players who feature in the top 50.
Zimbabwe captain Hamilton Masakadza is the highest-ranked batsman in eighth position. He is followed by Afghanistan's Mohammad Shahzad (12th), Sabbir Rahman of Bangladesh (20th), Zimbabwe's Malcolm Waller (23rd), Shakib Al Hasan of Bangladesh (25th), the Netherlands duo of Stephan Myburgh and Wesley Barresi in 27th and 36th respectively, Kyle Coetzer of Scotland (37th), Paul Stirling of Ireland (38th), Hong Kong's Babar Hayat (39th), Ireland captain William Porterfield (40th), Richard Berrington of Scotland (42nd), the Netherlands captain Peter Borren (45th) and Zimbabwe's Elton Chigumbura (47th).
In the absence of Zimbabwe's fifth-ranked Graeme Creamer, Afghanistan's seventh-ranked Dawlat Zadran is the highest-ranked bowler from the eight sides. He is followed by the Bangladesh pair of Shakib (ninth) and Al-Amin Hossain (15th), Mudassar Bukhari of Netherlands (17th), George Dockrell of Ireland (20th), Mohammad Nabi of Afghanistan (21st), 28th-ranked Mustafizur Rahman of Bangladesh, Timm van der Gugten of the Netherlands (29th), Ireland's Kevin O'Brien (32nd), Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza (33rd), Hong Kong's Nadeem Ahmad (39th), Hamza Hotak of Afghanistan (41st) and Zimbabwe's Sean Williams (46th).
Bangladesh's Shakib trails number-one ranked Watson by just one point in the all-rounders' category, while Afghanistan's Nabi is just outside the top 10 in 11th position.
Although India seems to be the in-form side and the team to beat in the ICC World Twenty20 India 2016, the fact of the matter is that neither has any side won the ICC World Twenty20 twice nor has any home side lifted the silverware in front of its home crowd. Whether this will change come 3 April, only time will tell!
While the team rankings will be updated after each match, the player rankings will not be updated after the conclusion of second-round matches on 28 March.
