Current Standings: India and Australia Lead the Pack
Right now, India and Australia are on top of the points table, fighting hard to reach the WTC final. India leads with 68.52 percentage points. Australia, who are the current champions, follow close behind at 62.50 percentage points. But even though they’re doing well now, we won’t know the final teams until later in 2024 since many games are left to play.
India has ten important Tests left this time around. They’ll play Bangladesh and New Zealand at home, then face a tough five-Test series in Australia. On the other hand, Australia needs to handle a two-Test series in Sri Lanka so they can keep their lead & defend their title.
Pat Cummins: Defending Champions with a Clear Goal
Pat Cummins, Australia’s Test captain, says winning the WTC is really important. “Winning the World Test Championship was, & still is, a big goal for this team,” he said. “It’s all about hard work & being consistent over these two years for everyone. Hopefully, we’ll be there again; there’s still lots of cricket to play, and fans can watch us defend our title.”
Cummins’ words show how focused Australia is on being their best. They’ve got to keep working hard in the next few months.
