ICC World Test Championship points table (Updated) after IND vs BAN 2022 series

India tightened their grip over second spot in the ICC World Test Championship points table with a close win against Bangladesh earlier today. Playing under the captaincy of KL Rahul, the Indian team defeated Bangladesh by three wickets in Dhaka and completed a 2-0 clean sweep in the two-Test series.

Courtesy of their two wins against Bangladesh, India now have 58.93% of the points to their name in the ICC World Test Championship points table. Australia continue to be at the top of the standings with 76.92% points. South Africa are third with 54.55% points.

Bangladesh's WTC 2021-23 campaign has come to an end after their series defeat against India. It looks like Bangladesh will take the wooden spoon home once again. After six series, Bangladesh only have 11.11% of the points to their name. They are ninth on the nine-team table right now.
