WTC 2025-2027 Points Table: Updated World Test Championship Standings after Australia beat England by 8 wickets in Gabba Test
ICC WTC 2025-2027 Updated Standings: A dominant Australia handed England an eight-wicket defeat in the second Ashes Test at Brisbane’s iconic Gabba on Sunday, extending their perfect record in the current World Test Championship (WTC) cycle.
Having lost the Perth Test in just two days, England again failed to mount a serious challenge in Brisbane, succumbing in the Pink-Ball Day-Night Test on the fourth day. The visitors set Australia a paltry target of 65, which the home team chased down in just 10 overs.
