They will have a chance to improve their standings next month when they host Sri Lanka for two Tests.
Sri Lanka lead the standings with 100 PCT, having won both the Tests they have played in this cycle. They are followed Australia, who have a PCT of 86.66.
Pakan (75 PCT) are third and South Africa are one slot behind with a PCT of 50.
Reigning champions New Zealand, who defeated South Africa 276 runs in the first Test in Chrchurch on Saturday, claimed 12 crucial points and are placed sixth with a PCT of 46.66.
