With Sri Lanka beating New Zealand by an innings and 154 runs today [29] and clinching the series 2-0, they consolidated their position further on the ICC World Test Championship Standings. Though they remain in third place, they have now improved their point percentage to 55.56%.
On the other hand, New Zealand who began the series in the third place in the WTC standings, have slipped down to the seventh position with a 37.5% point percentage. This means England, Bangladesh, and South Africa, all jump by one place to be placed at fourth, fifth, and sixth spot respectively.
Sri Lanka’s upcoming WTC series are against South Africa (away, two Tests), and Australia (home, two Tests). A win in all of these games can see them further improve their point percentage to 69.23%.
