It is now one point ahead of sixth-placed Pakistan and three behind England in the rankings lead by India with 120 points.
Australia is currently placed second with 109 points while South Africa is third with 107 points.
Bangladesh, which started the series at 65 points, has slipped to 62 points to complete a forgettable tour of New Zealand.
