ICC World Test Championship 2025-2027 Points Table: The Ireland tour was no less than a nightmare for Team India. It had to face defeat 0-2 in the 2-match T20 series. Meanwhile, a big upheaval has been seen in the points table of the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27. The result of the first Test match played between West Indies and Sri Lanka in Antigua has completely changed the equation of the points table. In this match, West Indies played brilliantly and defeated Sri Lanka by a huge margin of one innings and 217 runs. This shameful defeat of Sri Lanka has directly benefited the Indian cricket team, which has climbed one place in the points table.
West Indies’ one-sided victory
The Sri Lankan team scored 308 runs in its first innings of the Antigua Test match. But West Indies scored a huge score of 626 runs for 9 wickets in the first innings on the basis of Aamir Jangu’s historic double century and Roston Chase’s excellent innings of 194 runs. In response to this the Sri Lankan team completely disintegrated. In the second innings, the entire Sri Lankan team was reduced to just 101 runs in front of the lethal bowling of Kemar Roach and Jayden Seales.
How did India gain in the WTC points table?
This is Sri Lanka’s first time in the World Test Championship 2025-27, it has played a total of 3 matches so far, in which it has won 1 and 1 and there has also been a draw.

But after this crushing defeat, Sri Lanka’s points percentage (PCT) has fallen significantly. She has come straight to sixth place with a points percentage of 44.44.
At the same time, Team India was in sixth place before this match. But her points percentage (PCT) is 48.15, due to which she has now reached 5th position. At the same time, this is West Indies’ first win in 9 matches and they are at number 8 with 14.81. On the other hand, Australia still remains at the first position with an impressive PCT of 87.50.
