The World Test Championship (WTC) 2025/27 final is getting closer as teams are trying their best to get the wins under their belt and qualify for the final. South Africa stand as the defending champions of the current cycle as the Temba Bavuma-led side beat Australia during the final of the last cycle at Lord’s in London. 

Bangladesh recorded a famous Test win in their first appearance in Australia in 23 years, getting the better of the Pat Cummins-led side by nine wickets at the Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin and now aim to seal the series by a 2-0 margin.

Bangladesh became the joint-second-quickest side to record their first Test win in Australia after England, who recorded their first-ever victory in their second appearance in the country in 1877. The Proteas also won their third red-ball clash down under in 1910.

Can India, New Zealand or Sri Lanka break into the top two?

Australia’s next Test match of the series against Bangladesh will be on August 22 at the Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay. They will later make a trip to the Proteas in October before returning home and hosting the Kiwis for a four-match Test series in their home summer.

India, meanwhile, after their series against Sri Lanka, will face the Blackcaps and arrange the five-match series by the beginning of 2027. They will hope to get as many victories in those games and keep themselves alive in the qualification scenario.
