WTC 2025-27 Points Table: Here's a look at the latest standings after Bangladesh's historic win vs Australia

Bangladesh recorded a historic Test win against Australia in Darwin in the first WTC 2025-27 Test between the two sides, sending ripples through the World Test Championship standings. The result has been reflected in the updated WTC 2025-27 points table as of August 16, 2026.

Bangladesh now sit in fourth place in the standings with 3 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw from 5 matches. They have accumulated 40 points and hold a win percentage of 66.67. Despite the significance of the result, Bangladesh's position in the table did not change from fourth.

Australia, despite suffering the defeat in Darwin, remain in first place in the WTC 2025-27 standings. They have 7 wins and 2 losses from 9 matches, giving them 84 points and a win percentage of 77.78. The loss to Bangladesh has dented their percentage but not their top position.

The visitors produced a strong all-round performance to beat the two-time WTC finalists in Darwin. Hasan Mahmud was the standout bowler, taking a career-best 6 for 55 in Bangladesh's first innings against Australia. His figures gave Bangladesh a firm grip on the match from early on.

With the bat, Tanzid scored a maiden Test century in just his second Test match, contributing significantly to Bangladesh's first-innings total of 426. That score gave Bangladesh a commanding position, and they did not let go of it through the remainder of the match.

The combination of Mahmud's career-best bowling and Tanzid's maiden century underlined the quality of Bangladesh's performance in Darwin, making it one of their most complete Test victories in recent memory. Bangladesh's ability to post 426 in the first innings on Australian soil speaks to the depth of their batting resources in this WTC cycle.

Australia continue to lead the WTC 2025-27 standings with 84 points from 9 matches and a win percentage of 77.78. Their position at the top remains secure despite the Darwin defeat, given the number of matches they have played and the points they have banked across the cycle.

Bangladesh are fourth in the table with 40 points from 5 matches and a win percentage of 66.67. Their record of 3 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw reflects a competitive campaign in the current WTC cycle. The Darwin win adds to their growing reputation as a side capable of beating top-ranked Test nations on the road.

The updated standings confirm that while the Aussies' lead at the top is intact, the Najmul Hossain Shanto-led side's win in Darwin is a significant result in the context of the WTC 2025-27 cycle. They have now demonstrated that their batting and bowling resources can combine effectively against the best sides in the world, and the Darwin result will carry weight as the championship progresses and qualification scenarios take shape.
