World Test Championship – Your Go‑to Hub for All Things Test Cricket

Wondering where to catch the buzz around the World Test Championship? You’re in the right spot. This page pulls together scores, standings and quick analysis so you never miss a swing.

How the Championship Works

The ICC runs the Championship as a league that spans two years. Each of the top ten test nations plays a series of matches, earning points for wins, draws and even close losses. Points are allocated based on the number of runs and wickets taken, so a high‑scoring draw can still boost your tally.

At the end of the cycle, the two teams with the most points face off in a final at Lord’s. The winner lifts the coveted Test Championship trophy and claims bragging rights as the world’s best in the longest format.

What’s Happening Right Now

This summer sees India chasing a series win in England, while Australia battles South Africa on home soil. The current table shows Australia leading, followed closely by India and England. If you’re tracking the race, watch the third‑day scores – a big lead can swing the points dramatically.

In addition to the big names, emerging sides like New Zealand and Pakistan are pulling off surprise results. A win against a higher‑ranked opponent can catapult a team up the ladder, making every series more exciting.

To keep up, check the live scoreboard every time a match starts. The dashboard updates every over, showing runs, wickets and the shifting points. If you’re on the go, a quick glance at the live feed tells you whether your favorite team is gaining ground.

Fans also love the stats corner. Here you’ll find batting averages, strike rates and bowling figures for the whole Championship. Spot trends – like a bowler who’s taken a wicket every 20 balls – and you’ll have talking points for the next match day.

Don’t forget the schedule. The next week features a three‑test series between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, followed by a one‑off match between England and the West Indies. Mark those dates on your calendar so you can plan viewing parties.
