New Zealand completed an innings and 58-run victory over Sri Lanka in the second test in blustery Wellington to sweep the series 2-0 as the last match of the second edition of the World Test Championship (WTC) concluded on Monday. With this win, the Tim Southee-led side jumped three places to sixth in the WTC points table. Meanwhile, the Men in Blue registered their second successive entry into the WTC final, with the previous one coming in the inaugural cycle in 2021, which they ultimately lost to New Zealand.
As things stand out, Team India finished second in the tally with 58.8 percentage of points to their name. They won their last series against Australia by 2-1 and needed Sri Lanka to not win the series against New Zealand by 2-0. The island nation losing the first Test to New Zealand led India to confirm their berth in the final. On the other hand, Australia emerged as the table-toppers with 66.67 percentage points after missing out on a final spot in the last edition due to poor over rate.
