South Africa made a big leap:
A two-match Test series is being played between South Africa and Sri Lanka. As soon as South Africa defeated Sri Lanka by 233 runs in the first match of this series, their team made a big leap in the WTC points table. Their team was in the 5th position before this match, but now they have overtaken Australia, Sri Lanka and New Zealand to reach the second position. Before the match, their team’s PCT score was 54.17. Now their PCT score has become 59.25.
Danger to India-Australia:
Meanwhile, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is also being organized between India and Australia. Where both the teams are playing a five-match series to secure their place in the final. Meanwhile, due to South Africa’s victory, Australia’s team has come to third place in the World Test Championship points table. Let us tell you that only the teams that are in first and second place in the WTC points table make their place in the final. South Africa still has to play three more matches in this cycle. Where one match will be played against Sri Lanka and two matches against Pakistan. If their team wins all three matches, then only one team from India and Australia will be able to go to the final.
