Bangladesh has secured a remarkable position in the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 standings following their stunning nine-wicket victory over Australia in Darwin. The triumph represents a historic milestone for the South Asian nation, marking their first-ever Test win on Australian soil. This significant achievement has propelled Bangladesh upward in the championship race, with their points percentage climbing to 66.67% after accumulating 40 points from five matches.
The decisive victory was built on strong individual performances from the Bangladesh squad. Tanzid Hasan’s century provided a solid batting foundation, while bowlers Hasan Mahmud and Mehidy Hasan Miraz combined effectively to restrict Australia’s second innings. Bangladesh subsequently chased down their target of 57 runs with minimal difficulty, losing just one wicket in the process.
Despite the loss, Australia maintains the top position in the WTC table with 84 points from nine matches, though their points percentage has declined from 87.50% to 77.78%. South Africa sits in second place with 75%, while New Zealand holds third with 72.22%. India remains in fifth position with 52 points from nine tests, holding a points percentage of 48.15%, just ahead of Sri Lanka who occupy sixth place with 41.67%.
The championship landscape continues to evolve as teams compete for qualification to the WTC Final, with Bangladesh now firmly in contention among the leading nations in the ongoing cycle.
