JUMP TO:
The highly anticipated third season of the test championship, the ICC World Test Championship (2023–2025), keeps up its flare. This tournament started in June 2023 with The Ashes, a dramatic match between England and Australia, and will end in June 2025 with the grand finale at Lord’s.
With 100 PCT, Pakistan, who finished seventh in the WTC Standings the previous season, is currently in the top spot of the ICC WTC Points table. Following their resounding victory over Sri Lanka, Pakistan showcase their dominance by taking the top spot with 24 points. They trounced Sri Lanka by an innings and 222 runs in the second test match thanks to their strong first-innings performance.
It’s fair to argue that Sri Lanka, who chose to bat first, never got back in the game when Nishan Madhushka was run out in the fourth over of the opening day. At the SSC, 166 was a record-breaking low for them, and they never recovered.
If the hitters performed poorly, the bowlers were ineffective and lacked consistency, which prevented them from exerting any sort of pressure on the Pakistani batsmen. Salman Agha scored his second Test century, Abdullah Shafique scored his first double century, while Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan, who entered the game just as a concussion replacement, both scored half-centuries.
410 was a significant deficit, but one would have thought Sri Lanka would at least put up some resistance. Before Noman cut down the batting order, the openers had scored 69 runs for the first wicket. It then took the Pakistani bowling attack just 67 overs to knock Sri Lanka out for 188 runs.
