Sri Lanka remain sixth in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 standings following their draw against India in the second Test at the SSC Ground in Colombo.
The draw earned both teams four WTC points, taking Sri Lanka to 24 points from six matches. Their points percentage remains at 33.33%, keeping them sixth in the nine-team standings.
India, meanwhile, remain fifth but saw their points percentage fall from 53.33% to 51.52%. They now have 68 points from 11 matches.
Australia continue to lead the WTC table with a points percentage of 80.00%, followed by defending champions South Africa on 75.00% and New Zealand on 72.22%. Bangladesh are fourth with 55.56%.
The Colombo draw came after a remarkable Sri Lankan fightback on the final day. Having been forced to follow on after conceding a 213-run first-innings deficit, the hosts recovered to 429 for nine, with Sonal Dinusha producing another outstanding innings.
Dinusha, who scored 103 in the first innings, remained unbeaten on 133 from 264 balls in the second innings as Sri Lanka denied India the victory they needed to further strengthen their WTC campaign.
India won the opening Test in Galle by 165 runs and therefore secured the two-match series 1-0.
