Pakistan tumble to bottom of WTC 2025-27 after 90-run loss to West Indies
Pakistan have dropped to the bottom of the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 standings following a 90-run defeat to the West Indies. The result was their eighth consecutive away Test loss, with Jayden Seales and Justin Greaves prominent in the victory while Babar Azam's unbeaten 58 went in vain.
The outcome further reshuffles the WTC table, leaving India placed fifth in the standings. Australia occupy the top position, with South Africa sitting second. The West Indies win removed Pakistan from safety in the early stages of the 2025-27 cycle and strengthened the hosts' standing in the event.
Seales and Greaves were highlighted for their performances that contributed decisively to the West Indies success. The pair's efforts proved enough to secure a margin of 90 runs, a definitive result in the context of the match. Pakistan’s batting fightback, including Babar Azam’s unbeaten 58, was insufficient to chase down the target.
For Pakistan the defeat extends a troubling sequence on the road, their eighth straight away-Test reverse. That run has now had a direct effect on their position in the WTC table, pushing them to the bottom of the standings. The string of losses away from home will be recorded as part of their campaign statistics for the 2025-27 championship.
India’s placement at fifth reflects their current accumulation of points in the same cycle, behind Australia and South Africa. While Australia lead the standings, South Africa remain in the second slot, maintaining the top half of the table. The relative positions underline the competitive spread among the leading Test nations in the WTC 2025-27.
The West Indies victory not only provided immediate match glory but also influenced the championship ladder by altering Pakistan’s standing. Jayden Seales and Justin Greaves received recognition for their roles in producing the match-winning performance. Babar Azam’s unbeaten 58 stands out in Pakistan’s individual efforts despite the team result.
Pakistan’s slide to the bottom of the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 table after the 90-run loss to the West Indies leaves them in a precarious statistical position. India remain fifth, while Australia and South Africa occupy first and second respectively, shaping the early narrative of the ongoing championship.
