Australia reclaims top spot in World Test Championship after victory over India. Australia has reclaimed the top position in the World Test Championship rankings after a dominant 10-wicket victory over India in Adelaide. The defeat has pushed India down to third place, while Australia’s commanding performance has restored their lead at the top.
Meanwhile, England took a significant step towards securing a place in the final by gaining a decisive 2-0 lead in their three-match series against New Zealand. This has diminished New Zealand’s chances of making it to the final.
In the latest rankings, South Africa holds the second position, Sri Lanka is fourth, England is fifth, and New Zealand sits in sixth place. Despite England’s victory in Christchurch, they were penalized with a three-point deduction for a slow over-rate, a penalty that was also imposed on New Zealand.
