The"Ca­lyp­so Girls" moved in­to that spot in the pre­vi­ous rank­ing in Sep­tem­ber af­ter drop­ping out of the top 12 po­si­tions last year, re­sult­ing in the lo­cal team miss­ing the Com­mon­wealth Games ear­li­er this year.

New Zealand has moved in­to sec­ond place, with Eng­land falling to the fourth po­si­tion fol­low­ing their 3-0 se­ries de­feat in the Sun­shine Se­ries against Ja­maica. Just one rat­ing point sep­a­rates New Zealand, Ja­maica and Eng­land – things couldn’t be clos­er com­ing in­to a World Cup Year.
