WTC points table: South Africa took a big jump in the points table, tension increased for the Indian team

World Test Championship points table: There has been a change in the ICC World Test Championship points table once again. South Africa has defeated Bangladesh at their own home. With this the team has made a great leap in the WTC points table. Due to this, if on the one hand the South African team has become a strong contender for the final of the World Test Championship, on the other hand the tension has increased even more for the Indian team. On the other hand, Bangladesh has suffered losses due to this defeat.

South Africa benefited greatly from victory over Bangladesh

South Africa won the first match of the ongoing two-Test series between Bangladesh and South Africa by a huge margin. With this, the South African team now directly occupies the number four spot in the World Test Championship points table. Before this match, South Africa was ranked number six with a PCT of 38.890. But a single win has increased his PCT to 47.62. With this victory, the team jumped two places and directly captured the number four position.

England and New Zealand each lost one place

With this victory, the South African team moves ahead of England and New Zealand. Both teams have had to drop one place each. If we talk about Bangladesh, before this match the PCT of Bangladesh was 34,380, and now it has come down to 30.55. However, even after this, the team will still be ranked number seven as before. But now there are many doubts about whether the team will be able to make it all the way to the final.

India, Australia and Sri Lanka still occupy the top 3

Talking about the top 3 teams in the current points table, the Indian team currently reached the first position with 68,060 PCT and their position remains intact. After this, the Australian team is in second place. Your PCT is 62,500. Sri Lanka is in third place. Its PTC is currently at 55,560. The good thing is that South Africa has a great chance of reaching the final. Now the team has to face one more test from Bangladesh itself. After this, the team will have to play against Pakistan and Sri Lanka at home. It is not easy to beat South Africa in a test at home. In such a situation, if South Africa wins this match, then understand that the final is also not far away.

Team India will have to win the remaining two matches against New Zealand.

Now if we talk about India, although team India is at number one right now, New Zealand has ruined their game. New Zealand has caused a huge surprise by defeating the Indian team in the Bengaluru Test. Now team India will have to win the remaining two matches against New Zealand to reach the final. Furthermore, when a five-Test series is played against Australia, they will have to win at least two of those matches, only then will their place in the final be confirmed. Even if the Indian team wins against New Zealand, it will be a very difficult task to defeat Australia at home. Therefore, India not only has to win its matches but will also have to keep an eye on the performance of other teams.
