After the Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 1st Test match at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, the International Cricket Council (ICC) shared the updated points table on its official social media accounts. Among the nine participating teams, New Zealand is currently leading the points tally.
After winning the toss, Sri Lankan skipper Kusal Mendis elected to bowl first. It was a typical subcontinent pitch in Rawalpindi, which mostly offered help to the bowlers when the surface was new, and later in the match, batters found it hard to score runs.
Centuries by Dhananjaya de Silva and Kusal Mendis
Sri Lanka replied well with their batting, scoring 446 runs. Dhananjaya de Silva led the counterattack with the bat by scoring 167 runs off 246 balls. He decorated his innings with twenty 4s. The partnership between Silva and Kusal Mendis put the opposing bowlers on the back foot.
The visitors took only a 12-run lead, leaving very little time for Pakistan to set them for a huge total. Sri Lankan bowlers supported their batters well in the second innings. They took 8 wickets before the end of Day 5, and the match ended in a draw.
WTC points table after Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 1st Test
If Sri Lanka manages to win the match, then it will cause trouble for England, as they will drop to seventh place, with the Lankans capturing sixth place in the WTC points table. As Pakistan is at the bottom of the standings, they will remain unaffected if they lose the next game.
