World Test Championship 2025-27 Points Table Update: India Climbs to Third After Draw at The Oval

The World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 has witnessed an exciting shift in the points table following the recent draws and wins, notably India leveling the series against England in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at The Oval. After the match ended 2-2, India has overtaken England to take third place in the WTC standings.

As of August 4, 2025, the updated points table places Australia firmly at the top, having won all three of their matches and maintaining a 100% points percentage. Sri Lanka holds the second spot with 66.67% points, while India has jumped to third position with a 46.67% points percentage. England, despite also having two wins from five matches, slipped to fourth due to a prior two-point deduction, which affected their overall percentage, now standing at 43.33%.

The detailed points table shows:

The 2025-27 World Test Championship began on June 17, 2025, and will conclude with the final scheduled at Lord's in June 2027. The championship format involves 27 series consisting of 71 matches, with each team playing six series (three home and three away). A win provides 12 points, a tie 6 points, a draw 4 points, and a loss 0. Moreover, teams can face point deductions for slow over rates.

Points are calculated as a percentage of points won out of points contested, creating a competitive environment where every match is critical to a team's standings. In tied situations, the number of series wins, away series points percentage, and ICC Test Rankings settle the rankings.

This recent update is crucial for India as it bolsters their chances of qualifying for the final by moving ahead of England. Fans and analysts will be closely watching upcoming fixtures to see if India can maintain or improve their standing.
