WTC Points Table update after IND vs SL: India beat Sri Lanka by 165 runs, remain fifth; Australia lead

India have got their World Test Championship 2025-27 campaign back on track with a 165-run win over Sri Lanka in Galle. The victory keeps India fifth in the WTC standings, with five wins from 10 Tests and a points percentage of 53.33. With two Tests against New Zealand and five against Australia still to come, India now face a demanding second half of the campaign.

The win came at an important stage for India, who had entered the Sri Lanka series after a 0-2 home defeat to South Africa. The two-time WTC runners-up needed a strong start in Sri Lanka to keep their hopes of reaching the 2027 final alive.
