Major changes in the World Test Championship points table
There was a change in the World Test Championship points table after Team India’s defeat at the hands of Australia. Team India, which was on top, had to come to the third position, on the other hand, Australia had occupied the top position, but now after about 24 hours, there has been a change once again. Australia had to give up its top position in the span of just one day. South Africa’s victory over Sri Lanka has once again created a stir in the WTC points table.
South African team reached the top of the World Test Championship points table
Now the South African team has reached number one in the ICC World Test Championship points table. The South African team has reached the top of this points table for the first time and now the tension of the other teams has increased. Australia has suffered a lot due to South Africa’s victory, it has had to come straight to second place without playing. If we talk about the current points table, the South African team has occupied the first position with a PCT of 63.33. Whereas Australia’s PCT is 60.71, hence it has to come second.
Team India is still at number three
Talking about the Indian team, it is still at third place with a PCT of 57.29. The equations of the Indian team have changed after the defeat in the second test against Australia. Now he will have to win all his remaining three matches from here, which is not going to be such an easy task. If we talk about Sri Lanka, its PCT has become 45.45 after the defeat in this match. The team is still in fourth place, but now it is out of the race for the finals. However, he will have to depend on other teams to go. Now India, Australia, South Africa and Sri Lanka are the only four teams who are alive in the race for the final.
South Africa has a great chance to play the final
This was the last match of the South Africa vs Sri Lanka series. Now South Africa has to play two tests against Pakistan at their own home. If the South African team is successful in registering victory in this, then it is certain that no one can stop them from playing the WTC final. Meanwhile, some of the upcoming matches are going to be very important for these top four teams. After every match, the equation and scenario will change and the excitement will keep increasing.
