NZ, SA Close In Gap As Australia Remain On Top Of WTC Points Table
ICC World Test Championship: England registered a Boxing Day comeback win at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday, clinching a famous four-wicket victory over Australia to register their first Test win on Australian soil in 19 matches and breathe new life into the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025–2027 race.
The result of the Test match, although Australia had already secured a 3-0 Ashes series victory before the game started, was a boost for Ben Stokes and his team. More importantly, it ended Australia's unbeaten record in the current WTC cycle, giving the other competitors a chance to catch up.
Before the Melbourne Test match, Australia were on top of the World Test Championship table with a perfect 100% points percentage (PCT). Following their defeat in the Melbourne Test, their points percentage dropped to 85.71%, but they remain comfortably at the top. In addition, this loss has allowed New Zealand and South Africa to close the gap, with 77.78% and 75%, respectively, placing them second and third.
