    ICC WTC Points Table System – Updated

    ICC Updates the Points System Cycle for the second phase of the World Test Championship.

    According to this, each match of the upcoming WTC will be contested for the same number of points, i.e., 12 for a win, 6 for a tie, and 4 for a draw. For slow over-rates, teams will lose one championship point for each over-short

    In the previous cycle, each Test series carried a value of 120 points which led to some sort of inequality in the table as a team winning a Test in a two-match series got 60 points compared to a five-game leg where a Test win is valued at 24 points.

    Proposed points system from WTC Cycle 2 played between 2021 to 2023:

    • Win: 12 points
    • Tie: 6 points
    • Draw: 4 points
    • Penalty: For slow over-rates teams will lose one championship point for each over short

    The team will be ranked on the percentage of available points they won from the matches played.

    Points available per match Percentage of points*
    Win 12 100
    Tie 6 50
    Draw 4 33.33
