ICC World Test Championship Points Table: Changes have started once again in the points table of the ICC World Test Championship. After a long time, a test match was played in which the teams of England and West Indies were face to face. England won this historic match played at Lord’s by an innings and 114 runs. With this, England seems to be gaining in the WTC points table, while West Indies has to suffer loss.
India at number one in WTC points table
If we talk about the points table of the World Test Championship, the Indian team is leading. Team India is currently occupying the number one position with a PCT of 68.51. After this comes Australia’s turn. The PCT of this team is currently 62.50. The gap between the first and second team is not much.
PCT of New Zealand and Sri Lanka equal
New Zealand cricket team is at third place in the points table. The team’s PCT is currently 50. Sri Lanka’s PCT is also 50. But since England has 90 points and Sri Lanka has 24 points, New Zealand is ahead in the points table. The PCT of Pakistan cricket team is 36.66 and the team is currently at number 5.
West Indies suffered loss due to losing the match
Meanwhile, West Indies have suffered a loss by losing the first match of the three-Test series being played against England. Before this match, West Indies’ PCT was 33.33, which has now come down to 26.66. However, even after this the team still holds the sixth position. The PCT of South Africa and Bangladesh is 25, hence these teams are at number seven and eight.
Tremendous increase in PCT of England
If we talk about the England team, which defeated West Indies by an innings in the first Test, it has benefited so much that its PCT has increased. Although the team was at number nine earlier also and is still standing there. Earlier the PCT of the team was 17.50, which has now increased to 25. But if the team is successful in winning the second match of the series then its ranking will increase. The team will not only leave South Africa and Bangladesh behind, but will also go ahead of West Indies’ PCT and can directly occupy the fifth or sixth position.
