Uniting the Game: Together Against Top Definitions The road to final is all but over for the English side as a dismal tour to India has come to an end and England will be feeling really lucky that they won atleast one match, as Ollie Pope's heroic 196 saved the day for Ben Stokes' side in the first Test, else it would've been a whitewash. Why did New Zealand earn 60 points on winning the match, while India had won only 40 points each after winning every Test match against South Africa in October last year? That is because, as per ICC rules, every Test series carry 120 points in total, irrespective of the number of matches in the series. India are poised to retain the top spot in the ICC WTC Points Table if they secure a victory against England in the fifth and final Test of the IND vs ENG series, scheduled to commence in Dharamsala from March 7 onwards. However, if IND vs ENG 5th Test ends in a draw or if England emerge victorious, it opens the door for both Australia and New Zealand to potentially overtake India as table-toppers in the WTC 2023-25 points table. |
