India's cricket team faced a setback in the World Test Championship (WTC) standings after suffering a defeat against England in the first Test of the five-match series. The loss not only affected India's position in the points table but also pushed them below Bangladesh.
In the WTC points table prior to the Test series against England, India held the second position with a points percentage of 54.16. Having won two out of four matches, with one loss and one draw, India seemed to be in a strong position. However, the defeat in the first Test against England altered their standings significantly.
Following their loss to England, India's points percentage dropped to 43.33. With two wins, two losses, and one draw out of five matches played, India now finds themselves below Bangladesh in the WTC standings.
Meanwhile, despite losing a Test match to the West Indies, Australia managed to retain their position at the top of the points table. Australia, led by Pat Cummins, have won six out of ten Tests, with three losses and one draw. However, their points percentage decreased slightly to 55.00 after the recent defeat.
The fluctuation in rankings highlights the competitive nature of the World Test Championship, where each match holds significant importance in determining a team's position in the standings. As the series between India and England progresses, both teams will be aiming to secure crucial victories to enhance their standings in the championship.
