New Zealand vs Bangladesh test match status
Meanwhile, the teams of New Zealand and Bangladesh are playing the match under WTC for the first time. It has been four days since the first Test and New Zealand seems to be on the back foot. Talking about the match, Bangladesh batted first and scored a good score of 310 runs in the first innings. In response, New Zealand managed to take a slight lead by scoring 317 runs. But in the second innings, Bangladesh set a big target for New Zealand by scoring 338 runs. When the fourth day of the match ended, New Zealand had scored 113 runs for seven wickets and still needed 219 runs to win. Although there is still a whole day’s play left, but the problem is that New Zealand has only three wickets left. Therefore, it seems like a crisis is looming over the team. Now only some charisma can save New Zealand from defeat from here.
How to get points in WTC points table
Let us tell you that in the World Test Championship, 12 points are given after every win, while four points are given if the match is drawn. In case of a tie, six points are awarded. That means, if Bangladesh wins this match, it will have 12 points and the team will directly reach fourth place. West Indies have only four points and England have only 9 points. But it is not a matter of marks. Which team’s position in the points table is decided not on points but on winning percentage. This is the reason why England with 9 points is still behind West Indies with four points. That means, after winning the first match, Bangladesh’s win percentage will become 100, in this sense the team can go straight to number two. Due to this, the Indian team may have to come at third place.
