Team India has a big lead in the points table, England’s condition is very poor.
ICC World Test Championship points table: There are now 4 matches in the 5 Test match series played between India and England. Team India also won the series by winning three of these games. The last game is yet to come but before that, the Indian team has already sealed the series. With this win, the Indian team also gained a big lead in the ICC World Test Championship points table. It’s another thing that the team is still in second place, but what has definitely happened is that the lead over Australia has now increased significantly. If we talk about England, the team’s condition looks even worse.
Team India benefited from the victory over England
If we talk about the points table of ICC WTC i.e. World Test Championship, New Zealand team is in the first position even after the fourth match between India and England. New Zealand have played four games so far and won three of them. The winning percentage of the team i.e. PCT is currently 75. As for the Indian team, before the Ranchi Test, India had played seven matches out of which they won four and lost two. The team’s PCT was 59.52 and has now increased. The Indian team has now played 8 games and won 5, lost 2 and one game ended in a draw. In this way, the Indian team’s PCT is now 64.58.
The Australian team takes third place
Australia ranks third after India. Australia played 10 matches, winning 6 and losing 3. One game ended in a draw. So his PCT is 55. This means that the Indian team is now way ahead of Australia in terms of PCT. If we talk about fourth place after top 3 teams, Bangladesh team can be seen here. His PCT is 50. The condition of Pakistan looks very bad. Pakistan has played five matches and won only two of them. He lost in the remaining three games. In this regard, his PCT is 36.66. The team is ranked 5th. West Indies also has the same winning percentage and the team is currently ranked 6th. South Africa’s PCT is at 25 and the team is in seventh place.
England’s condition is very bad
The question now is, where is the England team? The condition of England is very bad. The team has played 8 matches so far in this cycle of the World Test Championship and won only 3 of them. So far the team has lost 5 games. Before the Ranchi Test, England’s PCT was 21.88, which has now come down to 19.44. This means that the team continuously suffers losses. The team is still in eighth place. However, the fifth and final Test of this series is still to come, which will be played in Dharamshala from March 7. If the Indian team wins this game too, the top spot doesn’t seem too far away for them. But you have to wait some time for that.
