WTC 2025-27 points table: Updated World Test Championship standings after England whitewash Pakistan
**England Whitewash Pakistan in WTC 2025-27 Opener — Here's Where the Table Stands** What a way to kick off the new World Test Championship cycle. England swept Pakistan 3-0 at Edgbaston with an eight-wicket flourish in the decider, capping a tour so chaotic that Pakistan came in with wholesale squad and coaching staff revamps. Not that it helped. Pakistan were bowled out for 133 in their first innings — their fifth time failing to reach 200 across the series. But they showed real grit in the second innings, racing to 449 with fifties from Shan Masood, Babar Azam, Azan Awais and debutant fast-bowler Razaullah, who lit it up down the order. England had already buried them earlier with a 320-run lead and five half-centuries. Root and Cox both chipped in fifties in chase to seal it, despite Mohammad Abbas rocking the new-ball early. **WTC 2025-27 Standings (post-3rd Test):** 1. **Australia** — 96 pts, 80% (8W/2P) 2. **South Africa** — 36 pts, 75% 3. **New Zealand** — 52 pts, 72.22% 4. **Bangladesh** — 40 pts, 55.56% 5. **India** — 68 pts, 51.52% 6. **England** — 47 pts, 38.54% 7. **Sri Lanka** — 24 pts, 33.33% 8. **West Indies** — 30 pts, 20.83% 9. **Pakistan** — 16 pts, 14.81% So Australia sit top after grinding 8 of 10 games, but the real story is the gap forming between the top three and the rest. Pakistan finish bottom with just one win all series — a campaign that'll be forgotten fast. New Zealand and South Africa are the ones to watch as the real title contenders so far.
