Sri Lanka is placed third on the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 points table after the series victory over Bangladesh. Sri Lanka has a win percentage of 66.67 after managing one win and a draw in the two-match Test series against Bangladesh. Sri Lanka drew the first Test in Galle, before bouncing back to beat the visitors by an innings and 78 runs in the 2nd Test in Colombo today.

Meanwhile, Australia jumped to the top spot on the WTC points table after beating West Indies by 159 runs in the first Test of the three-match series at the Kensington Oval in Barbados. Australia rode on Josh Hazlewood’s bowling heroics to successfully defend 300 and win the opener by 159 runs to go 1-0 up in the series.

The new cycle of the World Test Championship got underway earlier this month, with hosts Sri Lanka taking on Bangladesh in a two-match series. India began their campaign in the competition with the ongoing five-match Test series against England, while Australia locked horns with West Indies in the first assignment in the new cycle.

Australia surged to the top spot after beating West Indies in the first Test, while England are currently second, having beaten India in the first Test at Headingley in Leeds earlier this week. Sri Lanka is third while India and West Indies are reeling at the bottom of the WTC 2025-27 points table, having lost their respective first matches in the cycle.

The likes of New Zealand, reigning champions South Africa and Pakistan are yet to begin their campaign in the WTC 2025-27.
