India remains at the top of the standings, but the loss has somewhat weakened their hold on a place in next year's final, as their percentage drops to 68.06 percentage ahead of two more Tests against New Zealand and a five-match series with Australia

Australia and Sri Lanka are currently India's closest challengers in the standings, with Pat Cummins' side in second place at 62.50 percentage, and the island nation narrowly behind at 55.56 percentage following their recent series sweep over New Zealand

New Zealand's victory over India has put the Kiwis back in contention for a second appearance in the World Test Championship final, as they overtake England and South Africa to reclaim fourth position

England holds the fifth position with the point percentage of 43.06. South Africa is right below the "Three Lions" having played just six matches in the current cycle

Bangladesh, Pakistan and West Indies are at the bottom of the table. The final of the mega event is scheduled to begin on June 11 to June 15, 2025, at the iconic, Lord's Cricket stadium
