The points percentage (PCT) system determines the standings. Wins earn 12 points while draws get 4. Each team's total available points are calculated from the matches played.
New Zealand's solid start with a 75% PCT puts them in pole position. Despite an initial loss, they have bounced back strongly, eyeing another shot at the championship.
With 62 points and a 64.6% PCT, India is comfortably positioned. A win in the upcoming Test against England will further solidify their standing, potentially leading the table.
Despite a rocky start, Australia remains a formidable force. They must overcome New Zealand to secure their spot in the final, but a victory can tilt the scales in their favor.
Bangladesh, although currently fourth, has the potential to surprise. Their upcoming matches could catapult them to the top, making them serious contenders.
England's slow over-rate penalties have hampered their progress. However, a series of victories could still salvage their chances, albeit with an uphill battle ahead.
West Indies' stunning win against Australia has turned heads. While their position isn't strong, they remain a wildcard in the competition.
Both Pakistan and South Africa face challenges, with their points and PCT reflecting their tough journey in the championship so far.
Despite being at the bottom, Sri Lanka still has a chance to turn things around. Their upcoming matches will be crucial in determining their fate.
As the competition intensifies, teams must approach each Test with utmost determination. The upcoming matches promise to be thrilling as teams vie for a coveted spot in the WTC final at Lord's.
