World Test Championship: India's massive 113-run loss against New Zealand in the second Test gave a huge blow to their World Test Championship final (WTC) hopes as they hold a very slim edge over second-placed Australia in the standings.
Despite loss in the first two Tests against New Zealand, India continue to lead the standings with 98 points after 13 matches while Australia have 90 points to claim the second place. However, India's points percentage dropped to 62.82 after the first series loss at home in over a decade. On the other hand, Australia are not that behind in points percentage with 62.50.
With the three-match series already in their kitty, New Zealand have climbed to the fourth spot in the WTC standings with back-to-back wins over India. They have 60 points same as third-placed Sri Lanka but fall behind in the points percentage.
