ICC World Test Championship points table (updated) as of November 9 after BAN vs WI 2026 2nd Test

The second Test between West Indies and Bangladesh ended in a tame draw in Sylhet, a result that leaves both teams exactly in the same position as they were in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025‑27 table. The visitors took the series 1‑0 after their eight-wicket win in the series opener at Mirpur.

West Indies chose to bat and made 356 in the first innings, with the in-form Amir Jangoo scoring 133, before Hasan Mahmud took 6 for 90. Bangladesh replied with 386, built on Towhid Hridoy’s stunning 242 not out as he carried the innings to help the hosts take a lead.

Kavem Hodge’s career-best 142 and Kevin Wickham’s 78 meant that West Indies scored 398 for 6 in the second innings, before declaring. Bangladesh were set a target of 369, and were reduced to 40‑2 in the 12th over, before Towhid Hridoy stepped up again with 82. The hosts were placed at 184‑4, before bad light, which had already ended the fourth day early, cut into the time left, and the match ended in a draw.

With this result, Bangladesh stay fifth in the WTC 2025‑27 points table. They were on 47.62 percent before the match, with 40 points from seven Tests, and are on 45.83 percent now, with 44 from eight.

West Indies stay eighth, improving from 26.92 percent (42 points from 13, including a two-point slow over-rate deduction) to 27.38 percent from 14. Pakistan remain last on 4.63. New Zealand (72.22), South Africa (71.43) and Australia (69.23) hold the top three. The latter were recently pushed out of the top two after an away series loss to the Proteas.

India to face New Zealand in a crucial two-match series in the WTC 2025‑27 cycle

While Pakistan face Sri Lanka in a two-match series beginning on November 9, a crucial two-Test series in New Zealand, involving India, starting at the Basin Reserve in Wellington on November 19, will play a key role in how the top half of the table reads at the end of the year.

India have 68 points from 11 Tests, five wins, four defeats and two draws, and seven matches left: two in New Zealand, five at home to Australia. The Shubman Gill-led side recently won an away series against Sri Lanka by a 1‑0 margin, and need more wins to remain in contention for the top two places in the table.

New Zealand, who have won four of six Tests, have ten matches remaining, among them home series against India and Sri Lanka and tours of Australia and Pakistan. The Blackcaps have a strong home red-ball record against India, losing only one out of their last 20 Tests.
