ICC WTC Points Table: Team India once again showed to the world that playing in the sub-continent, especially against the Indians, isn't a piece of cake for everyone as the hosts win the second IND vs AUS test by 6 wickets in the third day itself. With the win, India upped its chances of qualifying for the ICC WTC 2021-23 Final. 



India concluded the 2nd IND vs AUS test in nearly one session after bundling out Australia in their second innings on day three. The Aussies played a counter-attacking game last afternoon (day two) and stayed overnight with a score of 61 runs in the loss of 1 wicket. On day three, R Ashwin began his assault with a wicket in the first over of the day itself. The senior off-spinner removed dangerous-looking Travis Head.



Ashwin then trapped Steve Smith leg before wicket in one of his following overs which led to the debacle of the Aussies. While Ashwin was tightening things from one end, Ravindra Jadeja opened his account for the day with the wicket of Marnus Labuschagne and embarked on the two-way destruction. 



Following the three initial wickets in the day, Australia lost its plot as R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja went on to pick another three wickets in three consecutive deliveries to make the situation even worse and humiliating for the Aussies. In no time, the spin duo Ashwin and Jadeja wrapped up Australia's second innings at a score of 113 runs. 



In the meantime, Ravindra Jadeja completed his 12th five-wicket haul in test cricket and even registered his best-ever figures in his test career (21.1 Over - 42 Runs - 7 Wickets). While R Ashwin got three in his bag.



Team India had a meagre total to fetch in the second innings, 115 runs and the task was done by the hosts in 26.4 overs. Skipper Rohit Sharma once again looked in sublime touch as he scored brisk 31 runs from 20 balls before getting his hands dirty with an ugly mixup with Cheteshwar Pujara, in which the former had to sacrifice his wicket. 



Cheteshwar Pujara, who was playing his 100th test match, remained unbeaten at 31 runs along with Srikar Bharat (23*). Meanwhile, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer scored 20 and 12 runs respectively.



Team India won the IND vs AUS 2nd test match by six wickets and took an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the four-match series. Down below is ICC WTC Points Table [Updated] and India's Qualification scenario for WTC 2021-23 Final after IND vs AUS 2nd Test.



<h2>ICC WTC Points Table [Updated]</h2>

The Delhi test win against Australia helped India gain over two points as the latter's win percentage now stands at 64.04. Meanwhile, Australia saw its win percentage plummetting from 70.83 to 66.67 following the humiliating loss.



Sri Lanka stands firmly in third position with a 53.33 win percentage followed by South Africa with a 48.72 win percentage. With India inching closer to the ICC WTC 2021-23 final spot, the chances of Sri Lanka and South Africa playing the coveted game seem to plunge.

There will be a slight relief amongst the Indians as they are just one victory away from booking their direct ticket to the ICC WTC 2021-23 Final, which will be held from&nbsp;7-11 June&nbsp;at The Oval, London. Meanwhile, should India clean sweep Australia in the ongoing IND vs AUS four-match test series, it will head atop the points table with 147 points and a 67.43 win percentage.



On the other side, Australia desperately needs a draw or a victory in one of the remaining two matches of the IND vs AUS test to exclude its competition against Sri Lanka. If Australia fails to bring up a draw or a victory in the last two tests, it will open up room for Sri Lanka to sneak in and get a seat in the ICC WTC 2021-23 Final.



Best possible finish for India: Beat Australia 4-0, finish with 147 points and Win Percentage of 67.43.



Worst possible finish for India: Draw Australia 2-2, finish with 131 points and Win Percentage of 60.6

ICC WTC Points Table Updated after New Zealand vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test: After owning the last ball thriller in Christchurch, New Zealand has gone on to boss Sri Lanka in the 2nd Test at Basin Reserve to end the two-match home test series with a clean sweep. The kiwis won the 2nd test against Sri Lanka by an innings and 58 runs to conclude the series. The win has produced some shuffle in the ICC WTC Points Table as well. 



Sri Lanka did exceedingly well against New Zealand in the 1st Test in Christchurch, though they lost it by a whisker. However, the 2nd test was a one-sided domination by the hosts. The Lankan Lions never looked comfortable in chasing the mammoth total put up by the Kiwis. Owing to Kane Williamson and Henry Nicholls' double ton, New Zealand managed to post 580 runs total.



The Kiwi bowlers were outstanding in their execution. They induced some false shots from the Sri Lankan batters which saw them get bundled out for 164 runs in the first innings against a total of 580 runs. The home side then enforced a follow-on and again the story repeated itself as Sri Lanka fell short by 58 runs to fetch the total.



Although Sri Lanka did play some good cricket in the second innings, the first-innings deficit was large enough to keep them in crunch-22. Dhananjaya de Silva missed out on his well-deserved century by two runs, while there were a couple of good half-century efforts from the batters as well.

Australia and India continue to be unharmed at the first two positions respectively. Both teams will now have a rematch at the Oval in London for the finale of the ICC WTC 2021-23. Meanwhile, South Africa managed to remain in third place with a 55.56 win percentage from six series played in the duration.



The Proteas are followed by England with a 46.97 win percentage who toppled Sri Lanka, following the latter's 2-0 defeat against New Zealand. Sri Lanka is placed fifth in the ICC WTC POints Table with a 44.44 winning percentage. 



New Zealand (38.46), Pakistan (38.1), West Indies (34.62) and Bangladesh (11.11) are placed at the bottom half of the ICC WTC Points Table.

ICC WTC Points Table Updated after New Zealand vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test | World Test Championship 2023 Final

ICC WTC Points Table: England have finally punished Australia in the 3rd Test of the ongoing Ashes 2023 to remain alive in the iconic battle. Mark Wood and Chris Woakes dealt the final few blows to give their team something to cheer, as they bring up a silver lining following two initial defeats in the five-match series.



All-rounder Chris Woakes drives Mitchell Starc's delivery for a boundary to take England over the line against Australia in the third Test at Headingley. With the impressive comeback, England are alive and kicking in the series, which has two games remaining, after going 2 down in the first two games. The win has also led England to open their account in the ICC WTC Points Table 2023-25.



England hunted down 254 run target in the fourth innings with young Harry Brook dealing most of the damage to Australia. Brook (75 runs) spearheaded the chase and remained firm despite seeing his mates perish at the other end. 



It wasn't a cakewalk for England, as they had multiple moments of ebbs and flows throughout the game. The Englishmen opened day four with no casualties in the chase of 254 runs in the final innings and they looked poised to easily get through the chase. However, a test never ends without pushing teams into uncomfortable situations.



England got reduced to 171 for six wickets with Harry Brook and Chris Woakes in the middle. Australia were back into the game, with Mitchell Starc breathing fire at his end, who had removed Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow in two of his previous overs. However, Brook once again proved why he is rated so highly by the experts.



Harry Brook and Chris Woakes re-structured the innings when England needed 80 runs with four wickets in hand and took their side close to the win. When it looked like a smooth ride for England to win the test, Starc brought another twist in the game by dismissing Harry Brook at a score of 75 runs. England were seven down in 230 runs score with 24 runs still to get.



The incoming batter Mark Wood played a few aggressive shots, which went over the boundary rope, while Chris Woakes did the rest of the work to take England home in the third test at Headingley.



Earlier in the game, Australia had amassed 263 runs in the first innings following Mitchell Marsh's brilliant comeback century. In response, England scored 237 runs and trailed by 26 runs. Australia then 224 runs to their lead in their second innings, effectively taking their score to 250.



In pursuit of 250 runs total, England scored 254 runs to win the do-or-die test match and remain alive in the five-match Ashes series. England have managed to bag 10 points against their name in the ICC WTC Points Table. Meanwhile, Australia already have 22 points after sealing two victories at the start of the Ashes 2023.

Sri Lanka, batting first posted a total of 312 runs on the board and in response, Pakistan were 101 for 5 wickets. It was the time when it seemed that Sri Lanka had the match if they could all out Pak within the next session. But things turned around when Saud Shakeel posted a double hundred and gave Pakistan a healthy lead of 148 runs.



Lanka's third inning was not up to the standards and the Pakistani Bowling lineup wrapped them up in just 279 runs. Pakistan had a shaky start on Wednesday as they needed to chase down 131. Once again, Jayasuriya played a key role in the action as Sri Lanka took three early wickets. On Day 5, Pakistan had 83 to score, and Imam and Babar got off to a strong start.

ICC WTC Points Table: The 2nd test of the two-match test series between India and West Indies ended in a Draw. Rain completely washed out Day 5 which not only saved West Indies from defeat but also dragged India from first to second spot in the ICC WTC Points table 2023-25. We will walk you through ICC WTC Points Table Updated after India vs West Indies 2nd Test in this article.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#icc-wtc-points-table-latest-updated">ICC WTC Points Table Latest Updated</a></li></ul></nav></div>



Rohit and Co. possibly could have taken straight 24 points and 100% percentage points but rain ruined the plans of team India. As a result, India was able to get 16 points and 66.67% percentage points from their first series of the World Test Championship 2023-25.



After winning the first Test by an innings and 141 runs in Dominica, India was once again the much stronger team in the second Test. On Day 4, the Windies finished at 76/2, which meant they needed 289 more runs to win (Target 365), whereas India needed additional 8 wickets to win, however not a single ball was bowled on Day 5 and the match was called off.



Nevertheless, the game at Queen's Park Oval will be remembered in the record as Virat Kohli's 500th international match. In addition, he further strengthened its significance by scoring his 29th century in Tests and 76th overall. Had India won the game, it could have been the perfect ending.



Even though India won the series 1-0, the second game might prove to be critical and might damage India's prospects of reaching the WTC Final for the third time in a row. India would have earned 12 points with a victory but got just 4 with a draw. Therefore, rain prevented India from gaining 8 points in particular.



Though missing the points can hurt now, there is still a lot of time left, and a lot more bilateral series are still left to play. Therefore, it would be interesting to see how India progresses.



Not only India suffered damage due to rain but also England. The fourth Manchester Test was marred by rain, which caused the last day to be called off without a ball being bowled. Australia, the defending World Test Champions, are up 2-1 in the five-match series. They are currently at 3rd position in the WTC Points Table but will be in a good position if they win the last Test. Australia will play Pakistan at home in December and January 2023 following the Ashes.

Like the cess four match, this match was exciting. Here we are, bringing to you ICC WTC Points Table Updated after England vs Australia 5th Test, Ashes 2023

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/07/ENG-vs-AUS-5th-Test-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-117270" /></figure>



The Ashes 2023 was held in England. The Australian team was leading 2-0 in the series after winning the first two Test matches.

ICC WTC Points Table Updated After Ashes Sanctions, Pakistan and India leading the Race

icc-wtc-points-table-updated-after-ashes-sanctions-pakistan-and-india-leading-the-race

ICC WTC Points Table Updated: Bangladesh is set to lock horns against New Zealand in the two-game test series starting tomorrow (November 28). The NZ vs BAN 1st Test will be held at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. 



While most of the other teams have already begun their World Test Championship (WTC) campaigns, New Zealand and Bangladesh are two of the three teams that haven't yet kickstarted theirs. The likes of India, Pakistan, West Indies, Australia, Sri Lanka and England are already off the mark.



New Zealand's tour of Bangladesh 2023 includes three ODIs and two game test series. While New Zealand have convincingly won the ODI series 2-0, they will fancy their chances in the Test series as well in the spin-friendly conditions.



The Kiwis will brace themselves to continue their dominating run against Bangladesh, who have not managed to go past New Zealand in the test series so far. Twice the test series has been drawn, including the one held in 2021/22. But the Bangla Tigers will aim to go past the winning rope this time.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Points Table</h2>



Talking about the WTC rankings, Pakistan has so far claimed a 100 per cent winning record in the two games they have played in the ongoing cycle. Second-placed are the Indians, who have a 66.67 winning percentage, after playing a test series against West Indies. 



Australia is ranked third in the ICC WTC Points table with 30 per cent winning followed by West Indies (16.67 per cent), England (15 per cent) and Sri Lanka (0.00 per cent).



The remaining three teams - New Zealand, Bangladesh and South Africa - are yet to play a test match after the completion of the last World Test Championship cycle which was clinched by Australia.

India wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant is all set to go past MS Dhoni in the elite list of Indian players in Test cricket. The left-hander is just 6 sixes away from surpassing former keeper-batter in the most number of sixes for the national team in the history of the longest format of the game.
Rishabh Pant currently has 72 sixes in Test cricket in just 75 innings, which says a lot about his calibre as a player in the longest format of the game. MS Dhoni, on the other hand, has hit 78 sixes in the 144 innings that he has played for the team in the longest format of the game.
Virender Sehwag sits at the top of the list in the most number of sixes for the Indian team in Tests with 90 maximums in 178 innings. Current captain Rohit Sharma is second on the charts with 88 maximums to his name from 116 innings. 
<h2>Most sixes for India in Test Cricket: </h2>
Sehwag - 90 (178 innings)
Rohit - 88 (116 innings)
Dhoni - 78 (144 innings)
Pant - 72* (75 innings) 
Rishabh Pant has been one of the finest batters in world cricket. The keeper-batter proved his prowess in the ongoing game against Australia, which is the fifth game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The India batter has tilted the game for his team in the second innings. 
While every other bat struggled to get going, Rishabh Pant oozed his class with the bat and dominated the opposition. He played the attacking brand of cricket and put the Australian bowlers under pressure in what was a tough pitch to bat. 
<h2>India made a strong comeback on Day two of the ongoing fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25</h2>
Coming to the match, India made a strong comeback on Day two of the ongoing fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. They were right on the money with the bat and ball at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney on Saturday. 
Australia, who resumed at nine for one, didn't have a great start to day two as Marnus Labuschagne fell early. Sam Konstas (23) and Steve Smith (33) tried to bring Australia back with their innings but their partnership could last only 20 runs. 
India kept taking wickets at regular wickets, but debutant Beau Webster (57)  slammed a half-century, and a vital hand from Alex Carey (21:36b, 4x4) took Australia to 181, four runs behind India. 
India had a solid start to their second innings as  Yashasvi Jaiswal (22) and KL Rahul (13) added 42 runs for the opening stand. But after that, Australia made a strong comeback and picked wickets at regular intervals to reduce India to 78 for four. 
But it was Rishabh Pant (61) who slammed a half-century in a flash and took the game away as it allowed India to take the lead of over 120. At stumps on Day two, India was 141 for six with the lead of 145 runs and Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar at crease.

As the 5th Test between India and Australia unfolds, fans are watching an intense battle with high stakes. India, leading by 145 runs at the end of Day 2, has lost six wickets, leaving them in a tough spot. The outcome of the match could depend on whether India can stretch their lead further on Day 3. If they manage to add another 200 runs, they'll have a chance to secure victory, but it will require strong performances from their remaining batsmen.
Results of the IND vs AUS Test Series (Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25) Australia has taken the lead in this series with two wins out of the five matches played. On the other hand, India has managed to secure one victory, with one match ending in a draw, adding to the overall unpredictability of the series.
Potential for a Draw in this Test Series As the IND vs AUS series reaches its climax, the possibility of a draw remains a realistic outcome. With Australia leading 2-1 in the series, India is under immense pressure to win the final Test to level the series. Given the current match scenario, where India has a slender lead and has lost six wickets, achieving victory will be a challenging task.
Final Stand:
India leads by 145 runs at the end of Day 2 in the 5th Test against Australia, with Rishabh Pant's performance standing out. Despite the lead, Australia remains in a strong position as the match intensifies.

England's former captain Michael Vaughan believes that fierce-rivals India and Pakistan should play a Test-Match versu each other in Australia. He believes that if this happens, then Test Cricket will witness a great surge of growth and this match will also increase the excitement of the longest format of the game. 
However, Michael Vaughan admits that this is not easy due to political reasons between India and Pakistan, but this option can be considered. Apart from this, if the ICC gets involved in this matter, then there are chances of things working out.
<h2>"I want Pakistan and India to play a Test-Match versus each other on Australian Soil"</h2>
In an interview with the Times of India (TOI), Vaughan said, "I wish that both rivals Pakistan and India play Test-Matches versus each other on Australian soil. Both teams do square off against each other in the Asia Cup and the ICC Tournaments, but both of them haven't faced each other in red ball Cricket since a really long time. I want both of them face each other in the longest format of the game, but the only problem is that they cannot face each other in their home conditions. 
Therefore, as a solution to the problem, they can play Test Cricket versus each other in Australia or England. If this happens, it will be one of the biggest moments of the game and they will surely receive support in huge numbers."
"Pakistan &amp; India playing Test-Matches versus each other is going to prove to be absolutely phenomenal for the longest format of the game. Although, I am aware about the amount of politics involved in this matter, I believe both the teams can consider playing Tests at the Adelaide Oval, Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) or the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG)," Vaughan added. 
It's worth noting that the Indian and Pakistani teams have not faced each other in the Test format for almost 18 years. The last Test series between the two teams was played in 2007-08, but since then the two teams have not faced each other in Tests.

ICC Team Ranking After India vs Australia Test Series 4th Match - ICC WTC Standings

icc-team-ranking-after-india-vs-australia-test-series-4th-match-icc-wtc-standings

India captain Jasprit Bumrah has come under massive scanner for his antics during the ongoing fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The match between the teams is taking place at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney. 
In what has been a shocking development, India captain Jasprit Bumrah has been accused of using sandpaper during the ongoing match. Some of the Australian fans, as well as the media personnel, have charged the fast bowler with the allegations, and it has become a massive controversy. 
In a video that has gone viral on the internet, the sandpaper-like thing can be seen around Jasprit Bumrah. The India fast bowler can be seen getting troubled by something in their shoe, and as he decided to check upon that, there seemed to be a sandpaper-like thing. 
As Jasprit Bumrah removed his shoes, the sandpaper-like thing dropped out, and the fast bowler took that out and kept that in his hand. Since the video has gone viral, there has been a lot of buzz around social media, but so far, nothing official has come out from either of the teams or the match officials. 
Jasprit Bumrah has been the hot soup in the Indian team in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The fast bowler is single-handedly carrying the bowling lineup of the team in the ongoing series and is making sure that he helps his team fight hard in the five-match Test series. 
Jasprit Bumrah has been on fire with the ball in the ongoing game as well but he has found himself under some discomfort. The pacer felt back spasm during the second session and was seen leaving the Sydney Cricket Ground and going for the scans in the car. 
There is no clarity if Jasprit Bumrah will be taking over the charge of the team tomorrow or not. The fast bowler's availability will depend on how he feels on a Sunday morning. Although he might come to bat, there is no clarity if the pacer will come to bowl or not. 
Bumrah so far has taken 32 wickets for India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The tally of 32 wickets is the most by an Indian bowler in Australia in the history of Test cricket.
