Bangladesh produced one of the biggest results of their Test history by defeating Australia by nine wickets in Darwin, and the stunning victory has brought significant changes to the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 standings. Despite suffering their second defeat of the cycle, Australia have retained the top spot in the WTC table. However, their points percentage (PCT) has fallen from 87.50% to 77.78%, bringing them much closer to the chasing pack.
Bangladesh, meanwhile, have strengthened their position in fourth place. Their PCT has risen from 58.33% to 66.67% following the historic triumph, putting them firmly in contention in the race for the WTC Final.
Australia currently have 84 points from nine Tests, with seven wins and two defeats. Their 77.78% PCT keeps them ahead of South Africa, who are second with 75% after four Tests. New Zealand occupy third place with 72.22% from six matches, while Bangladesh are fourth with 40 points from five Tests. The Tigers have won three matches, lost one and drawn one in the ongoing cycle.
Bangladesh's victory in Darwin was particularly significant as it marked their first-ever Test win on Australian soil.
The result was set up by an impressive all-round performance from the visitors. Tanzid Hasan's century gave Bangladesh a strong platform with the bat, while Hasan Mahmud and Mehidy Hasan Miraz played crucial roles with the ball to dismantle the Australian batting line-up. Bangladesh then chased down a modest target of 57 with nine wickets in hand.
India are currently fifth in the WTC standings with 52 points from nine Tests. Their record stands at four wins, four defeats and one draw, giving them a PCT of 48.15%. India's position remains precarious, with Sri Lanka close behind in sixth place on 41.67%. Sri Lanka have played four Tests, winning one, losing one and drawing two.
