Sri Lanka secured four points from a draw against India in the second Test at the SSC Ground in Colombo, maintaining their sixth-place position in the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 standings with a 33.33% points percentage.
Sri Lanka remain in sixth place in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 after drawing their second Test against India at the SSC Ground in Colombo. The result earned both teams four WTC points, bringing Sri Lanka's tally to 24 points from six matches played. Their points percentage stands at 33.33%, keeping them in the middle tier of the nine-team competition.
India, who won the opening Test of the series by 165 runs at Galle, held onto fifth position but experienced a slight decline in their overall standing. The draw reduced their points percentage from 53.33% to 51.52%, with India now holding 68 points from 11 matches. This outcome means India secured the two-match series 1-0, though they were unable to capitalise on their advantage to extend their WTC campaign gains.
The Colombo Test featured a resilient Sri Lankan performance on the final day. After being forced to follow on following a 213-run first-innings deficit, Sri Lanka mounted a substantial recovery to reach 429 for nine in their second innings. Sonal Dinusha was instrumental in this comeback, scoring an unbeaten 133 from 264 balls in the second innings, complementing his first-innings contribution of 103. His performance proved decisive in denying India the victory they sought.
At the top of the standings, Australia continues to lead with 80.00%, followed by defending champions South Africa at 75.00% and New Zealand at 72.22%. Bangladesh occupy fourth place with 55.56%, while England (29.76%), West Indies (20.83%), and Pakistan (19.05%) complete the nine-team table.
