Victory for the Proteas in that match would put them level with
Australia on 125 ratings points. However, South Africa would be just
ahead of their hosts by a fraction of a ratings point (124.85 points
compared to Australia’s 124.64). India will retain their thir place in
that case.

Australia though can regain the number one position immediately as they
take on New Zealand for five ODIs, just two days after the Perth match.
Whichever side leads the ODI Championship table on April 1 will collect
$175,000 with the runners-up pocketing $75,000. The same is true of the
Test Championship with the top team walking away with $350,000.
