NEW DELHI: South Africa surged to the top of the World Test Championship (WTC) points table on Monday following a resounding 109-run victory over Sri Lanka in the second Test at St. George's Park in Gqeberha. The win also secured a 2-0 series sweep for the Proteas against the visitors.
With this triumph, South Africa now hold 63.33 percentage points, edging past Australia (60.71 percentage points) by 2.62 points. Notably, Australia had briefly claimed the top spot just a day earlier after their dominant 10-wicket win over India in the pink-ball Test in Adelaide.
