The second cycle of the World Test Championship is nearing its conclusion, and India’s 2-0 victory in Bangladesh has caused significant movement in the points table. A look at how the top contenders for the final are ranked.
India’s 2-0 victory in Bangladesh propels them into second place, displacing South Africa, which fell to table toppers Australia in Brisbane last week. India began the series with a 52.08%, but 24 points gained during the series increased it to 58.93%. Meanwhile, South Africa dropped from 60% to 54.55%.
Given how teams are currently ranked, they would need to finish above 55% to have any chance of making the final, and the three best teams in the race are Australia, India, and South Africa, all of whom have games remaining.
