Team India has huge advantage in the points table, England’s condition is very thin.
ICC World Test Championship Points Table : There are now 4 matches in the 5 test match series being played between India and England. Team India has also captured the series by winning 3 of these matches. The last match is still left, but before that the Indian team has already sealed the series. With this victory, the Indian team has also got a huge advantage in the points table of the ICC World Test Championship. It is another matter that the team is still in second place, but what has definitely happened is that its lead over Australia has now increased significantly. If we talk about England, the condition of the team is looking even worse.
Team India benefited by defeating England
If we talk about the points table of ICC WTC i.e. World Test Championship, even after the fourth match played between India and England, New Zealand team is occupying the number one position. New Zealand has played four matches so far and has won 3 of them. The team’s winning percentage i.e. PCT is currently 75. Talking about the Indian team, before the Ranchi Test, India had played 7 matches, out of which it had won 4 and lost 2. The team’s PCT was 59.52, which has now increased. The Indian team has now played 8 matches and out of them it has won 5, lost 2 and one match has ended in a draw. In this way, the PCT of the Indian team has now become 64.58.
Australian team occupies third position
Australia is at third place after India. Australia has played 10 matches and won 6 of them and lost 3. One match has been a draw. Thus its PCT is 55. That means the Indian team has now gone much ahead of Australia in terms of PCT. If we talk about the fourth position after the top 3 teams, then Bangladesh team is visible here. Its PCT is 50. The condition of Pakistan is looking very bad. Pakistan has played 5 matches and has won only two of them. He has lost in the remaining three matches. In this respect its PCT is 36.66. The team is at number 5. West Indies also has the same winning percentage and the team is currently at sixth position. South Africa’s PCT is 25 and the team is at number seven.
England’s condition is very bad
Now the question is where is the England team? The condition of England is very bad. The team has so far played 8 matches in this cycle of the World Test Championship and out of these it has won only 3. Till now the team has lost 5 matches. Before the Ranchi Test, England’s PCT was 21.88, which has now come down to 19.44. That means the team is continuously incurring losses. The team is still in eighth place. However, the fifth and last test of this series is still pending, which will be played in Dharamshala from March 7. If the Indian team wins that match also, then the number one position does not seem too far away for them. But for this there is a need to wait for some time.
