They won 2-0 in the West Indies and beat South Africa 3-0 in a home series before completing their third series win in the day-night Kolkata Test.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Each series is worth 120 points with the points distributed evenly over the number of matches in a series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The points range from 60 points for each match of a two-Test series to 24 for each match of a five-Test series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Australia are on 116 points after winning the first match of their ongoing Test series against Pakistan. Australia and England had earlier settled for 56 points each from their five-match Ashes series, which ended in a 2-2 draw.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sri Lanka and New Zealand are on 60 points each after drawing their two-match series 1-1. Pakistan are playing their first WTC series Down Under, while Bangladesh, West Indies and South Africa failed to get any points in their opening series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The top two teams at the end of the league will play the final in the UK in June 2021 with the winners crowned the World Test Champions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>ICC<\/p>\r\n",
