The WTC table after the Rawalpindi draw
Teams are ranked by the percentage of available points they have won, not by total points. This is the ICC standings table as it stood on 14 November 2026.
| Pos | Team | Played | Won | Lost | Drawn | Deducted | Points | Per cent |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | New Zealand | 6 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 52 | 72.22 |
| 2 | South Africa | 7 | 5 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 60 | 71.43 |
| 3 | Australia | 13 | 9 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 108 | 69.23 |
| 4 | India | 11 | 5 | 4 | 2 | 0 | 68 | 51.52 |
| 5 | Bangladesh | 8 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 44 | 45.83 |
| 6 | England | 16 | 7 | 8 | 1 | 14 | 74 | 38.54 |
| 7 | Sri Lanka | 7 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 0 | 28 | 33.33 |
| 8 | West Indies | 14 | 3 | 8 | 3 | 2 | 46 | 27.38 |
| 9 | Pakistan | 10 | 2 | 7 | 1 | 19 | 9 | 7.50 |
Since our table of 31 October, Bangladesh have slipped from 47.62 to 45.83 per cent and the West Indies have moved from 26.92 to 27.38, both after a drawn Test between them.
How Pakistan's 7.50 per cent is worked out
Each Test is worth 12 points. A win earns all 12, a tie 6 and a draw 4. A defeat earns nothing. Slow over rates cost points on top of that.
- Pakistan have played 10 Tests, so 10 times 12 makes 120 points available.
- Two wins give 24 points and one draw gives 4, so 28 points earned on the field.
- The ICC has taken away 19 points for slow over rates, which leaves 9.
- 9 divided by 120 is 0.075, or 7.50 per cent.
Without the 19 point deduction, Pakistan would be on 23.33 per cent, still ninth but much closer to the West Indies. Our WTC guide for Pakistan explains where those deductions came from.
Pakistan stay ninth whatever happens in the second Test
After the second Test, Pakistan will have played 11 Tests, so 132 points will have been available. These are our sums for each result.
| Second Test result | Pakistan points | Pakistan per cent | Sri Lanka per cent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pakistan win | 21 of 132 | 15.91 | 29.17 |
| Draw | 13 of 132 | 9.85 | 33.33 |
| Sri Lanka win | 9 of 132 | 6.82 | 41.67 |
No result in Rawalpindi lifts Pakistan above the West Indies on 27.38 per cent. A win would double Pakistan's percentage, though, which matters for the series still to come.
Sri Lanka can climb to sixth with a win
Sri Lanka have played 7 Tests. After the second Test they will have played 8, with 96 points available. A win would take them to 40 points, or 41.67 per cent, which is above England's 38.54. That would move Sri Lanka up to sixth.
A draw keeps them on 33.33 per cent and seventh. A defeat drops them to 29.17 per cent, still just above the West Indies. Sri Lanka are the side with something to play for in the table. For Pakistan, the second Test is about ending a poor cycle better than it started.
Pakistan cannot reach the 2027 final
The top two teams in the table at the end of the cycle play the final in 2027. Even if Pakistan won every Test left to them, they could not get close to New Zealand or South Africa.
Our 31 October table listed two Tests against New Zealand still to come after this series. If Pakistan won the second Test and both of those, they would reach 45 points from 156, or 28.85 per cent, by our sums. That would be above the West Indies' current figure, but nowhere near the top four. Our report on the Rawalpindi draw has how the first Test ended.
