WTC 2025-27 Points Table Updated: Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Draw
The first Test between Pakistan and Sri Lanka at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium has officially ended in a hard-fought draw. With both teams splitting the match points, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has released the updated World Test Championship (WTC 2025-27) standings.
The points split does very little to help Pakistan climb out of the tournament basement. New Zealand continues to dominate the top spot, while defending champions South Africa and Australia are breathing right down their necks.

Here is the complete, mathematically verified points table showing the current Percentage of Points (PCT) for all nine competing nations following the Rawalpindi clash:
| Rank | Team | Points Percentage (PCT) |

(Note: Teams are strictly ranked according to the percentage of points won, as this accounts for teams playing an unequal number of matches during the cycle).
The Race to the Final Intensifies
New Zealand holds the number one position with a solid 72.22 PCT. However, the margins at the top are incredibly tight. South Africa sits firmly in second place with 71.43 PCT, having won five of their seven matches in this cycle. Australia rounds out the top three with 69.23 PCT.
For Indian cricket fans, the situation demands a massive comeback. Team India is currently sitting in fourth place with a 51.52 PCT. To realistically keep their championship hopes alive and reach the top two, India needs to string together consecutive wins in their upcoming high-stakes Test series against both New Zealand and Australia.
Meanwhile, Pakistan remains firmly at the bottom of the table. Their failure to force a result on home soil leaves them struggling with a dismal 7.50 PCT. Sri Lanka sits slightly higher in seventh place with 33.33 PCT, meaning both Asian sides have a massive mountain to climb if they want to remain relevant in the race to the 2027 final.
