Updated World Test Championship Table
Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep’s heroic tenth-wicket partnership helped India salvage a vital draw against Australia. In the rain-soaked third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series at the Gabba on Wednesday, they placed third in the World Test Championship (WTC) standings. Their work created the conditions for a thrilling conclusion to the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 qualifying race, even if it also kept the five-match series evenly balanced at 1-1.
Australia’s WTC points percentage (PCT) dropped to 58.89 percent, while India’s fell to 55.88 percent. Australia and India are their closest rivals before the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne. And the New Year Test in Sydney at the beginning of next year. South Africa, on the other hand, is in the lead and in the box seat to play in the one-off Test in June 2025 with a PCT of 63.33.
With only two games left in the current WTC cycle, India’s chances of making it to the final are little to none. They are now in third place, after Australia and South Africa, with a PCT of 55.88. India needs to perform flawlessly in the next Test matches in Melbourne and Sydney. In order to surpass both and guarantee qualifying.
India needs to defeat Australia in their next two games to guarantee qualification. So it won’t be simple, but it isn’t impossible. To reach the Finale at Lord’s, however, any other conclusion would leave their destiny up to other outcomes.
