Tigers are just a series away to make further rise in rankings as they can be at no 6 or 7th position in ICC ODI ranking if they can win the series against India.
A 3 – 0 series win against the visitors will push Bangladesh in no 6 exceeding West Indies and England in the ranking.
However, if the tigers can seal the series 2 – 1, they will be at 7th position.
If Bangladesh can whitewash India, they will accumulate 8 points to end up in 96.

In the last updated ODI ranking by ICC, Bangladesh is now jointly at 8th position with West Indies having 88 points each. England is now at no 6 with 93 points.
According to the latest rules by ICC, top eight teams will play the ICC Champions Trophy and will directly play the 2019 ODI World Cup.
