WTC Points Table: Pakistan has slipped to eighth place in the World Test Championship (WTC) table after a 10-wicket defeat in the first Test cricket match played against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi and a subsequent penalty for slow over rate. Pakistan is in eighth place with 16 points after six matches and a win percentage of 22.22. It is only ahead of the West Indies.
Bangladesh, which registered its first win against Pakistan in the match that ended on Sunday, is in seventh place with 21 points. It has won two of its five matches so far. The situation has become more disappointing for Pakistan due to maintaining a slow over rate in the first Test. It bowled six overs less than the stipulated time and lost six WTC points due to this.
