インドのシナリオは変わりましたか? WTCポイント表はニュージーランド対イングランド間の第2テスト後に2023-25年に更新されました

こちらはウェリントンで行われたニュージーランド対イングランドの第2テストマッチ終了後に更新された世界テスト選手権（WTC）ポイント表です。

New Zealand, who scripted a historic Test series win over India, have been flattened by England. The Ben Stokes-led side have dominated the proceedings in Wellington and have gained an unassailable 2-0 lead in their three-game Test series against the Kiwis. With this, they have made the World Test Championship (WTC) points table 2023-25 interesting.

England have already been eliminated from the race to the WTC Final. However, they can spoil New Zealand’s party. Their massive 323-run win on Sunday was built on magnificent hundreds by Harry Brook and Joe Root. Gus Atkinson took a hat-trick in the first innings as well.

ENG impact on NZ’s WTC Final qualification

England have severely impacted New Zealand’s case now. New Zealand had a 50.00 point percentage prior to this match. Now, they are at 44.23. Incredibly, if England also win the remaining match, New Zealand remain sixth on the WTC points table. England, meanwhile, are already out even if they whitewash the Kiwis. At the same time, New Zealand are also out of WTC final race. However, it is a good news for India. Team India are already battling for a WTC final spot against Australia and South Africa. Now, they would be happy that New Zealand’s chances have taken a hit.
