India were leading the WTC standings by a significant margin but a 0-3 loss to New Zealand on home soil led to the World No. 1 Test side slipping down to the second spot, with the defeat also denting their hopes of making the final of the competition next year.

The huge win over Australia has bolstered India in the standings. They now have 61.11 percentage points and the top spot. Australia are second with 57.69 percentage points.
