ICC Cricket World Cup Super League points table (Updated) as on August 18

India have strengthened their grip over seventh position in the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League points table with a win over Zimbabwe on Thursday (August 18). The Indian side sits on the seventh position with 89 points from 13 matches in this new tournament.

Meanwhile, Zimbabwe continues to languish in the 12th position. In 16 matches, the African outfit has managed only three wins. A 10-wicket drubbing at the hands of India today in Harare has worsened their net run rate as well.

The top eight teams in the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League points table will join hosts India in the 2023 Cricket World Cup directly. Other teams will have to play in a qualifying tournament to secure their tickets to the mega event scheduled to happen in India next year.

Two more matches remain in the ODI series between India and Zimbabwe. The home side will be keen to improve their performance and put up a better showing against KL Rahul's men in the upcoming matches at the Harare Sports Club.
