ICC World Test Championship 2023-25: Updated points table after 3rd test, AUS vs IND 2024

The ICC WTC 2023-25 final is scheduled to be played at the Lord’s in June next year.

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25 continues to remain level at 1-1 after the third test in Brisbane as the match ended in a draw.

The test match was inevitably heading towards a draw once India avoided the follow-on late on day 4. Some excitement sparked on day 5 as Australia declared their second innings at 89/7, setting a target of 275 runs for India with 54 overs left in the match.

However, only 2.1 overs were possible as rain arrived once again, causing the last of the several breaks this game has endured.

With the Gabba test ending in a draw, both teams earned four ICC World Test Championship (WTC) points, which brought down their PCT a bit.
