Expansion
With the defeat of Pakistan in the Lahore Test, India’s hopes of reaching the first position in the Test rankings have ended. It will be difficult for India to achieve the first position in the ICC Test rankings for a long time now. India has to play the next test match against England and this match will be held in the month of July. In such a situation, Australia’s team will remain at number one in Tests for a long time.
The first two matches of the Test series between Pakistan and Australia were drawn. After this, Australia won the third Test by 115 runs and won the series by a margin of 1-0.
India could have come at number one if the series was drawn
Even if the third match of the series between Pakistan and Australia was drawn, the Indian team could have come first in the Test rankings. At the same time, even after Pakistan won one match in the series, India was sure to become number one in Tests. However, Pakistan’s team could not win any match in the series and had to face defeat in the last match. Now Australia’s team remains at the first position.
Pakistan at number six in test rankings
Australia’s team remains in the first place in the ICC Test Rankings. However, there is not much difference between India and Pakistan. Australia has 119 points, while India has 118 points. On the other hand, Pakistan’s team is at the sixth position with 93 points. New Zealand is in third place. He has 115 points. On the other hand, England’s team is in fourth and South Africa is in fifth place.
Now it is difficult to be India’s number one team
In the month of July, India has to play a Test against England at their home ground. India’s victory in this match will be difficult. Because, England will get the benefit of the domestic conditions and Joe Root’s new team is looking in great rhythm against the West Indies. At the same time, Australia has to play a Test series against Sri Lanka at their home. It will be a little easier for Australia to beat Sri Lanka in the two-match series.
