India solidified its top position in the 2023-2025 World Test Championship cycle with a 2-0 series clean sweep against Bangladesh. Despite losing over two and a half days to rain and a wet outfield, India’s aggressive strategy led to an impressive victory in the second Test at Kanpur.
This win earned India an additional 12 points, raising its points percentage (PCT) to 74.24 after 11 matches, well ahead of both Australia and Sri Lanka.
In contrast, Bangladesh’s fifth loss of the cycle places them seventh in the standings, with a PCT of 34.38.
