WTC Points Table 2025-27: India edged out England in a dramatic final Test at The Oval, winning by six runs and squaring the five-match series 2-2. Mohammed Siraj spearheaded India's charge with a stunning fifer along with delivering the final blow by uprooting Gus Atkinson's off-stump, sparking jubilant celebrations.

Siraj struck early, dismissing Jamie Smith and later removing Overton via a successful review. Prasidh Krishna backed him up by trapping Josh Tongue LBW, leaving England nine down. Chris Woakes walked out with a fractured arm in a moment of grit that recalled cricket folklore, but the tail couldn't take England over the line. With this win, India bagged crucial World Test Championship points.

Australia lead the standings with a PCT of 100, followed by Sri Lanka occupying 66.67. India are presently in 3rd position, while England and Bangladesh are in 4th and 5th positions respectively.

*Updated after IND vs ENG 5th Test match ended in a draw on August 4

India's next assignment in the ongoing WTC Cycle will be against the West Indies at home for a 2-match series. The 1st Test will run from 2nd to 6th October at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, while the 2nd Test will be from 10-14 October at the Arjun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.

India played the WTC Final in 2021 and 2023 but failed to cross the finishing line. This time around with renewed energy and new leadership, the 2-time finalists will be looking to turn things around and add the prestigious award in their trophy cabinet, the only one missing.

Note: 12 points for a win, 6 for a tie, 4 for a draw. Rankings are based on the percentage of points earned. The top two teams qualify for the 2027 final. Points can be deducted for slow over-rates.
