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.

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. ?

World Test Championship (WTC) Points Table: South Africa further slips down to the fourth position in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Points Table after suffering an unassailable 2-0 defeat against Australia. The mighty Aussies continued their one-sided domination at home as they hammered the Proteas by an innings and 182 runs in the second test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). 



The Proteas boasted of having a daunting pace attack, but that count for nothing if their batters can't put up a show and give the bowlers a fair chance to be a part of the contest. In the first innings, the South African batters were wrapped in mere 189 runs total all thanks to the handy half-century knocks from Kyle Verreyenne and Marco Jansen.



In response to an underwhelming total, Australian batters wreaked havoc and piled up 575 runs before declaring the innings. Opener David Warner redeemed himself in his 100th test with a classy double ton while Alex Carey slammed his maiden century in red-ball cricket.



In the second innings, South Africa did nothing better as they were once again packed by the Aussies at a score of 204. Temba Bavuma was the only batter who crossed 50 runs mark in the innings and helped South Africa breach 200 run mark.



Australia now have a safe lead of 2-0 in the three-match test series. South Africa will look to bounce back in the final test at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) and perform some salvage work in order to avoid embarrassment. Meanwhile, the hosts will back themselves for a complete whitewash in the third test.

Australia strengthened its first position in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Points Table with a 78.57 win percentage following a 2-0 lead against South Africa. Meanwhile, South Africa slips down to the fourth place with two consecutive losses against Australia. The Protea stands at number four with a win percentage of 50.



The second place is currently occupied by team India with a 58.93 win percentage owing to the domination shown in Bangladesh. India has a four-match test series against Australia at the home as their final assignment in the ICC WTC 2023. The home side will back itself to win the contest and make a place for themselves with a good margin.



Sri Lanka has managed a firm hold in the third position with a 53.33 win percentage after playing five test series in the cycle. Meanwhile, the fifth, sixth and seventh positions are occupied by England, West Indies and Pakistan respectively. All of them are already out of ICC WTC's final contention.

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.

Currently, Australia and India are leading the ICC World Test Championship point standings.



Australia is on a visit to India for a 3-match ODI series and a 4-match test series, also known as the Border Gavaskar Trophy. The outcome of these four test matches will determine whether India advances to the ICC World Test Championship final, making these matches crucial for the Indian team.

<h2>Qualification scenario for World Test Championship(WTC) final</h2>



For a ticket to the WTC final, South Africa, Australia, India, the West Indies, and Sri Lanka are still in the race. The top two teams in the rankings will face off in the ICC World Test Championship final. Each of these has one more series left before the season is done. South Africa will host their final series against the West Indies at home from February 28 to March 12. If the Proteas win that series 2-0, they will have 55.56% of the points.



Then, South Africa would have to hope that New Zealand defeated Sri Lanka and Australia beat India in their forthcoming four-match series. The Proteas team will continue to finish second overall in such a scenario.



<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.

Three test series are left to go in the ongoing cycle of the World Test Championship. The four-match test series between India and Australia, which starts today (9th Feb). New Zealand vs Sri Lanka two-match test series and South Africa vs West Indies two tests.



As mentioned earlier, Australia is seated at a dominant position in the points table. They just need to draw a test match in order to seal their berth in the ICC World Test Championship Final, given that they don't lose a point in penalty due to slow over rates. If the Aussies could not manage to draw a game against India, they will have to rely on the other teams to do them a favour.



For team India, the situation is really challenging. The Indians will have to defeat Australia 3-1 or better in the four-match Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023 in order to seal their position in the WTC final. Anything less than that, the permutation and combination will play its role.



For Sri Lanka and South Africa, nothing seems to be crystal clear for them. Even if they sweep their opponent, they will have to pray on the results of the other two fixtures.
