New Zealand has recently completed its series against Australia. The ODI series was drawn 2-2 while Australia won the only twenty20. India won the ODI series against Sri Lanka 4-1 and moved to no.2 in ODI rankings for a while. So, India's good performance in series may boost its both ODI and test rankings. But New Zealand's great form against Australia suggest NZ will give a big challenge.
