ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 Points Table: India’s chances for the WTC final took a massive hit after they suffered a 184-run defeat in the Boxing Day Test against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Monday.
The defeat reduced India’s points PCT at third place from 55.89 to 52.77, with a seventh loss this cycle while Australia boosted their final chances with their 10th win this edition, elevating the points percentage to 61.45 from 58.89 before the fourth Test.
