They have gone top of the ICC Associate ODI Rankings after Scotland were beaten by Kenya in a one-day international in Mombasa yesterday.

The rankings, which indicate how the five teams below the top 11 are faring, look set to change further over the coming weeks with the ICC World Cricket League and ICC Cricket World Cup on the horizon and with all those sides set to play a large number of ODIs.

Kenya beat Scotland by 192 runs, dropping the Scots' win rate down to 71 per cent, four percentage points below Ireland.

Scotland will get the chance to repair some of the damage today as they take on Canada in the ongoing ODI tri-series in the east-coast Kenyan city.

A win tomorrow will bring Craig Wright's team back level with the Irish.

A win for Canada, on the other hand, would lift them off the bottom of the table and above Bermuda into fourth place.

These are the early stages of the ICC Associate ODI Rankings.

Following the ICC Trophy in 2005, ODI status was granted to matches involving the teams that came in the top five (Scotland, Ireland, Canada, Bermuda and the Netherlands) as part of their preparation for the World Cup in March.
