    India Slip To Fourth, England Second In WTC Standings After Lord’s Thriller

    By IANS News July 14, 2025 • 22:46 PM View: 798
    World Test Championships: England’s dramatic 22-run win over India at the Lord’s not only levelled the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series 2-1 but also caused a significant shake-up in the World Test Championship (WTC) standings. In a match filled with tension, skill, and emotional swings, England held their nerve on Day 5 to successfully defend a modest target of 193, bowling India out for 170 in the final session.

    The result had immediate implications in the WTC 2025–27 cycle. England, which came into the Test with a points percentage (PCT) of 50, now leapfrogged India to move into joint second on the table. Their PCT jumped to 66.67, putting them on level terms with Sri Lanka and behind only Australia, who lead the standings with a perfect record so far.

    India, on the other hand, slipped from second to fourth. With just one win from three matches, their PCT dropped to 33.33. The only teams currently below them are Bangladesh, with 16.67 from two games, and West Indies, who remain winless after two Tests. The remaining four teams — South Africa, New Zealand, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka — are yet to play a full series or are mid-series, so their positions remain fluid.
