World Test Championship (WTC) Points Table [Updated] after AUS vs WI 2nd Test: With a humongous victory by 419 runs against West Indies in the 2nd Test, the Aussies have taken a firm hold of the top spot in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Points Table. The hosts showed complete dominance and registered a clean victory against the Caribbeans in the 2-match Test series.?



Despite lacking the test mainstay pacers, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, the mighty Australians trumped West Indies in the Adelaide Test by a huge margin of 419 runs in just four days of play. With the win, Australia have maintained their record of being unbeaten in the day/night test matches. Their winning streak in the pink ball test climbs up to 11 victories.



Earlier, Australia notched up a colossal total of 511 runs in the first innings owing to the sensational knock of Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head, who both scored over 150 individual runs.&nbsp;



Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Anderson Phillip tried to stitch a good partnership in response to a massive first innings total, however, their efforts looked scanty against the opposition bowling lineup. West Indies were bowled out at a score of 214 runs.&nbsp;



In spite of having enough runs on board, Steve Smith, stand-in skipper, decided to waive the follow-on and put in some more runs. Australia fiercely batted for the next few hours and then decided to declare the innings after scoring 199 in the third innings.?

Once again, it was West Indies? turn to bat under the lights with the pink ball doing its bit to trouble the batters. This time, the Aussie bowlers didn?t let the Caribbeans settle down and rattled through the batting lineup to blow away the entire unit in a mere 77-run score. It took Australia nearly 90 minutes on day 4 of the test for Australia to dismantle the entire West Indies innings and seal the victory.

Australia have strengthened its hold on the top position with a winning percentage of 75 and 108 rating points. South Africa stands in the second spot with a 60 winning percentage. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka held its third place followed by India, Pakistan and England.



India will have its chances to make it to the top 2 of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Points Table, but it would require a lion-hearted effort from the Indian men. Rohit Sharma and Co will have to win all its remaining test matches (2 against Bangladesh and 4 against Australia) in order to get through to the final of the WTC 2021-23.

On Thursday, the second and final Test of the IND vs BAN series gets underway in Mirpur, and with a victory there, India might even cement to the top two teams. India will host Australia for four Test matches in February and March of the following year, and to qualify for back-to-back appearances in the World Test Championship final, India must win 4 out of the next 5 tests to finish in the top two positions in the standings.



If they can advance to the 2023 final, Rohit Sharma's team, who lost to New Zealand in the maiden World Test Championship final played at Lord's last year, will be eager to pay back that humiliation.

World Test Championship (WTC) Points Table after IND vs BAN 1st Test | India at No. 2 position.

world-test-championship-wtc-points-table-after-ind-vs-ban-1st-test-india-at-no-2-position

India's qualification scenario for the WTC final: India dominated Bangladesh by a margin of 188 runs in the first Test of the two-match series on Sunday, December 18. Brilliant performances by batters Cheteshwar Pujara and Shubman Gill, followed by bowling masterclasses from Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, and Axar Patel, helped India take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. The ongoing "red-ball" contest between the Asian teams is a part of the World Test Championship 2021-23.



India moved up to No. 3 in the World Test Championship points tally with a total of 55.77 percentage points after defeating Bangladesh in the series opener.?



But later in the day, after the first Test of the three-match series between Australia and South Africa concluded, India's chances of reaching the WTC final were strengthened. Prior to the conclusion of the first game in the series, Australia held the top spot on the table with a PCT (percentage) of 75, followed by South Africa with 60 points. Now, South Africa dropped to third place with a percentage point of 54.55 after suffering a six-wicket loss in less than two days. The drop in South Africa?s position means that India has now jumped to the No. 2 position.?

</div></figure>



For India to qualify for the summit in 2023, a few scenarios need to fall in their favour, let?s check out those:



<h2>India's qualification scenario for WTC final</h2>



<ul>
<li>First and most simply, India must overcome Bangladesh by a result of 2-0 to stay there. India is leading the series 1-0 after their outstanding triumph in game one, but they still need to prevail in game two. Without the assistance of their star players like all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, bowler Jasprit Bumrah, and regular skipper Rohit Sharma, India managed to secure a victory. The future battle therefore will be as vital.</li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li>India will play Australia in its upcoming Test match. It will be India's final Test series in the current WTC 2021?23 cycle when the Rohit Sharma?led Indian team hosts Pat Cummins and company for a four-match series in 2023. India must win the series by a score of 4-0 or 3-0 in order to remain competitive because they cannot afford another loss going forward.</li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li>South Africa is currently playing a three-match Test series against Australia on Australian soil. The Australians will be on a high when the two teams next face off for the Boxing Day Test as the first Test was finished in just two days. South Africa losing the remaining games will be ideal for India. India will then have the advantage against the Proteas. And if India defeats Australia in the home series the following year, they will attain the qualifying criterion of 64.35 percent, which is likely to secure them a spot in the WTC Finals.</li>
</ul>

Earlier in the game, Pakistan notched up 304 runs score in the first innings with skipper Babar Azam playing the highest 78 runs knock. England spinner Jack Leach scalped four wickets while Rehan Ahmad got two in his bag.



In pursuit of 304 runs total, England succumbed in front of Pakistani bowlers, but not before taking a 50-run short lead. Middle-order batter Harry Brook completed his century while Ollie Pope and wicketkeeper batter Ben Foakes helped with their fine half-centuries. England had scored 354 runs in the loss of 10 wickets in the second innings.



Pakistan couldn?t do anything better in the third innings of the match as they were bundled out for 216 runs. Rehan Ahmad, who made his debut in the match, was the pick of the bowler as he scalped a maiden five-for.



England chased down 167 runs total comfortably on day four. Opener Ben Duckett remained unbeaten at 82 run score while skipper Ben Stokes scored 35 runs to complete the unassailable victory against Pakistan.

This looks like an uphill task as the Australian team looks in a league of its own. The Australian team is sure of qualification. They are 20% points ahead of the rest and have had a really amazing tournament. ?

Indian Cricket Team at Number 2 in WTC Table. WTC Updated Table After India VS Bangladesh Second Test Match. Best Updates.

indian-cricket-team-at-number-2-in-wtc-table-wtc-updated-table-after-india-vs-bangladesh-second-test-match-best-updates

ICC WTC Points Table [Updated] and India?s qualification scenario for the WTC final: The WTC points table has seen a significant alteration in recent weeks. India beat Bangladesh 0?2 at their home. Australia easily trounced South Africa in two Test matches, who were rated as a potent foe for them. England routed Pakistan 0-3 on Pakistan's soil, and New Zealand is now on tour in Pakistan, with the first test match being drawn.



New Zealand and Pakistan have been officially out of the World Test Championship (WTC) final. The objective for both teams would be to end the cycle on a high note. New Zealand is in eighth place, while Pakistan is in seventh.



After suffering a ruthless 2-0 humiliation to Australia, South Africa falls to fourth place in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Points Table. The Proteas were smashed by the strong Aussies by an innings and 182 runs in the second test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, continuing their unmatched supremacy at home.



With a 2-0 victory against Bangladesh to wrap up the calendar year 2022, coach Rahul Dravid's team will be aiming to carry that momentum into the Australia series at home. Australia is traveling to India for a 4-match red ball series starting 9th of February 2023.



Right now, only Australia is listed higher than India. Let's look over India's scenario for qualifying for the WTC 2021?23 final:



<h2>India?s qualification scenario for WTC final</h2>



1- India can not afford any loss from here onwards. If we do lose so not more than one.



2- If Australia beat South Africa 3?0, India would need to win the series against Australia by any margin.



3- If South Africa make a strong comeback beating the Aussies in the last test and defeating West Indies by 2-0 in their next series, then India must win by 3-1 or 3-0 Vs Australia.

ICC WTC Points Table [Updated] and India?s qualification scenario for the WTC final 2021-23.

icc-wtc-points-table-updated-and-indias-qualification-scenario-for-the-wtc-final-2021-23

World Test Championship (WTC) Points Table: What a disastrous home season it has turned out for Pakistan! The Asian side which is known to dominate in home conditions failed to win even a single test match in the entire season on home soil. The lean run of Pakistan's test side continued as they drew the two-match test series against New Zealand in the National Stadium in Karachi.



Kiwi skipper Tim Southee called for a brave declaration late on day four which set the tone for an eventful final day of the 2nd test. Pakistan lost two early wickets on day four itself without adding a single run to the scoreboard and it seemed a total of 319 runs was far-fetched for the hosts.



On the final day of the 2nd Test, the Kiwis once again scalped three crucial wickets to further put a hole in Pakistan's batting unit. Half of Pakistan's batting unit was bundled at a score of 80 runs and it looked dark for the home side to show resistance against the scrutinizing bowling spells.



However, veteran batter Sarfaraz Ahmad showcased his batting brilliance in a time of adversity for Pakistan. Ahmad stitched a strong 100 runs partnership with Saud Shakeel and followed it with another 70-run stand with Salman Agha. In the process, the senior glovesman completed his century and kept Pakistan in the game till the very last moment.



As the game proceeded to its end, the light began fading away and it only meant that New Zealand will have to bowl spinners to complete the remaining overs. Although Sarfaraz eventually lost his wicket while six overs were yet to be bowled, the duo of Nasheem Shah and Abrar Ahmed held their sides and took the game to a draw.



With the draw, Pakistan's win percentage in the WTC test matches moved to 38.1. Through the World Test Championship 2021-23 cycle, Pakistan only managed to win four test matches and six times they ended up being on the losing side. Meanwhile, on four occasions, they took the game to a draw.



Pakistan's hopes for the World Test Championship Final are already over. They were never in contention for the summit clash following their embarrassing performance throughout the cycle.

World Test Championship (WTC) Points Table [Updated] after PAK vs NZ 2nd Test

ICC WTC Points Table [Updated] and India?s qualification scenario for the WTC final: South Africa somehow managed to secure a draw against Australia in the third and final Test to keep themselves in position for a spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) final. It should be mentioned that the Proteas were brutally routed in the first two games before they managed to rescue a tie in the Sydney Test. The Proteas benefited from the rain in Sydney as more than 150 overs were wasted due to a wet outfield.



Australia consolidated their top spot on the ICC World Test Championship points table with a 2?0 series win against South Africa. The series win has almost guaranteed Australia a place in the final of the WTC 2023.



While New Zealand and Pakistan, on the other hand, also came to a draw in Karachi Test. It was New Zealand?s first test of their Pakistan tour. Although they both are already out of the final race, they still would want to elevate their positions at the end.



Now, with a 2-0 victory against Bangladesh to wrap up the calendar year 2022, coach Rahul Dravid's team will be aiming to carry that momentum into the Australia series at home. Australia is traveling to India for a 4-match red ball series starting 9th of February 2023.

A look at other Batters Who Have Achieved This. Best Updates.</a>



Right now, only Australia is listed higher than India. Let's look over India's scenario for qualifying for the WTC 2021?23 final:



<h2>Qualification scenario for WTC final</h2>



South Africa, Australia, India, West Indies, and Sri Lanka are still in the race for a spot in the WTC final. The final clash of the ICC World Test Championship will feature the top two teams in the rankings. Before the season is over, each of these has one more series. From February 28 to March 12, South Africa will host their final series against the West Indies at home. The Proteas will have 55.56% points if they win that series 2-0.



South Africa would then have to hope that Australia beat India in their upcoming four-match series and New Zealand beat Sri Lanka. In such a situation, the Proteas team will remain second in the final standings.



<h4>India?s qualification scenario for the WTC final:</h4>



1- If India Win Broder Gavaskar Trophy by 3-1 or 3-0: India will qualify without depending on others.



2- If India Win 2 Tests in Broder Gavaskar Trophy and New Zealand win/draw 1 out of 2 Tests Vs Sri Lanka.



3- India can still qualify if they lose Broder Gavaskar Trophy by 1-2: If West Indies win or draw 1 out of 2 Tests Vs South Africa and New Zealand win 1 Test vs Sri Lanka.

World Test Championship (WTC) Points Table: The South Africa tour of Australia worked as the catalyst for many recent alterations to the WTC points table.

World Test Championship (WTC) Points Table (Updated) ahead of Australia tour of India 2023 | Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023

IND vs AUS: Team India led by Rohit Sharma bettered its winning percentage in the recently updated ICC World Test Championship Points Table after handing an unforgettable defeat to the Australians in the first test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023. The Indians hammered the Australians by an inning and 132 runs inside three days to gain a 1-0 lead in the four-match test series. Down below is the World Test Championship Points Table [Updated] after IND vs AUS 1st Test.



The winning percentage of the Indian team climbed up to 61.67 following the win from 58.93. In 15 test games in the ongoing cycle of the ICC World Test Championship, India has added nine victories from 15 games so far and continues to strengthen its second position in the points table. 



While India increased its overall win percentage, Australia saw a decline of 5.82 per cent in their winning figure, which now stands at 70.83 after 16 games in the WTC 2021-22 cycle. 



Now the qualification of the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23 Final has gotten slightly easy for the Indians following the opening test victory in Nagpur. India now requires to win two more games out of three against Australia to get a direct and hassle-free qualification to the WTC Final, which will be held from June 7 to 11 in Oval, London.



A 3-0 or 4-0 victory in the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023 will put team India atop the World Test Championship points table dethroning Australia, which would eventually lead to a toss-up between Australia and Sri Lanka for the second spot in the Points Table.



However, if India fails to bring up two more test victories against the Aussies, it will then have to rely on other teams to produce outcomes that would favour India more than them.



Down below is the World Test Championship Points Table [Updated] after IND vs AUS 1st Test | WTC Points Table and India's qualification scenario for the WTC.



<h2>India's Qualification Scenario for World Test Championship Final</h2>



Best Case: Beat Australia 4-0, finish with 147 points and PCT of 67.43.



Worst Case: Lose to Australia 1-3, finish with 99 points and PCT of 62.38.
