I am sure it does count. However the points you get for a series or a match win depend on who your opponent is, and whait their current points total is. So currently, a 5-0 win over Zimb would get slightly more points than a 5-0 win over Bangla or Kenya, as Zimbabwe have more points than either of these. The points system is structured to take into account who the opposition is, but as it is an objective measure, it does so based on their points, not how good they actually are on the day. Hence Zimbabwe's current woes are not taken into account, their ranking and points total is.
