ICC WTC Standings Latest – India vs England LIVE: Team India face a must-win situation heading into the rescheduled IND vs ENG 5th test starting today in Birmingham.
A defeat in Birmingham would deny the Indians a historic series win in England. The visitors currently lead 2-1 before the tour was abruptly halted last year.
The Test also comes at a crucial standpoint in the World Test Championship cycle.
A defeat against a resurgent England could see India slip to 4th in the WTC standings.
India’s position will also depend on the result of the SL vs AUS 1st Test.
Should Sri Lanka win at home and India lose, the Lankans will leapfrog their neighbours on percentage points to 3rd.
The Lankans would fancy their chances at home on spin-friendly surfaces against Australia, who have won only 3 Tests in Asia over the last decade and a half.
WTC Standings: If India lose to England & Sri Lanka beat Australia
India’s win would guarantee that they hold the 3rd spot, irrespective of Sri Lanka’s result against Australia.
A win for both India and Sri Lanka would see the teams level on points, but India could lead in terms of overall points putting them ahead.
A win for India and a defeat for Sri Lanka would put India fairly in charge of their position in the table, while Australia would go top of the WTC standings.
