Pakistan down to No.7 in WTC points after 3-0 defeat

Pakistan's men's cricket team fell to No.7 in the World Test Championship standings after suffering a 3-0 defeat at home against England in the series. Pakistan's chances of winning the World Test Championship took a big hit after England beat Babar Azam's side 3-0 on December 20. The 3-0 thrashing left Babar Azam's team in need of multiple results to succeed in reaching next year's ICC World Test Championship final.

England retained their fifth position with a percentile of 47 after this victory. Now that Pakistan is eliminated from the final race for the ICC World Test Championship in 2021-23, England has spoiled the party. Pakistan will try to end the current cycle with a win in their next Test match against New Zealand, starting later this month. They will then face the same opponent in their final two tests.
