Will Bangladesh surpass West Indies in the ODI ranking very soon?

Bangladesh has 52 points in ODI ranking currently, West Indies has 70 points. Which means, if Bangladesh somehow manages to win a few games against some top nations they can easily replace West Indies from the 8th position in the ODI ranking.

Bangladesh is supposed to play zimbabwe later in 2010 (if i am not mistaken), which they should win comfortably. Before that, they are supposed to host New Zealand that includes 3 ODI matches. New Zealand faced a very tough time last time they toured Bangladesh, even though they managed to win the series 2-1.

If Bangladesh can produce tracks suitable to the spinners, I think Bangladesh can give New Zealand a tough time again. I think the series against New Zealand will be a great opportunity for Bangladesh to come closer in terms of replacing West Indies from the 8th position in the ICC ranking.
