New Delhi: The Sri Lankan team has completely changed the points table of the World Test Championship 2023-25 ​​with a clean sweep in the 2-match Test series being played at home against New Zealand. The Sri Lankan team has strengthened its position in the WTC points table by winning the second Test match of the series played in Galle by an innings and 154 runs and has also included itself in the race to reach the final. On the other hand after the defeat of New Zealand in this series it has become very difficult for them to reach the final in this edition of the World Test Championship.

The percentage of points of the Australian team is 62.5. New Zealand fell from fourth to 7th position after the defeat: This tour of Sri Lanka proved to be no less than a nightmare for the New Zealand team in which they also had to face a humiliating defeat in the second match. Before the second Test match the Kiwi team was at number four in the points table of the World Test Championship with a 42.85-point percentage. Now after the defeat in this match they have directly reached number 7 in which their percentage of points has now become 37.5.
