The current cycle of the World Test Championship (WTC) is ongoing, and the ICC has announced that the final will take place next year. The final match will be contested between the top two teams on the points table. The match will begin on June 9 and run until June 13 at 'The Oval'. All previous finals have also been held in England, and this trend will continue; however, this will be the first time the final is played at 'The Oval'.
Australian Team Tops World Test Championship Standings
A look at the current World Test Championship standings reveals the Australian team at the top. In the eight matches played so far, they have secured seven wins and suffered one loss, resulting in a PCT (percentage of points won out of matches played) of 87.50. South Africa holds the second spot, maintaining a PCT of 75.00 with three wins and one loss across four matches. New Zealand is in third place, while Bangladesh sits in fourth. Team India is currently in fifth place.
Team India Currently Fifth in the Standings
The Indian team has played nine matches in this WTC cycle, recording four wins, four losses, and one draw; consequently, their PCT stands at 48.15. In August, Team India will play a two-match Test series against Sri Lanka, which will be part of the World Test Championship.
Winning this series will offer the team a chance to climb the standings. However, the series certainly won't be easy. The schedule for the Sri Lanka series has already been announced.
