BackWest Indies won the two-match Test series against Bangladesh after the second Test ended in a draw. Here’s the updated World Test Championship table after the series.
Amir Jangoo slammed a century in the first innings as West Indies recovered from 27-3 to post 356 on the board. In response, Towhid Hridoy propelled Bangladesh single-handedly, converting his maiden Test century into a double ton. He finished on 242 not out, the highest Test score for Bangladesh, to help them eke out a 30-run lead despite struggling at 184-7 at one stage.
Kavem Hodge then scored 142 in the second innings before fifties from Brandon King and Kevin Wickham helped the West Indies set a target of 369. Bangladesh played out a draw as Hridoy was at the forefront again, scoring 82 as the hosts scored 184-4 in 59 overs before the two teams decided to shake hands.
Bangladesh and West Indies remained in their respective fifth and eighth places in the World Test Championship points table for the 2025-27 cycle. Bangladesh had slipped to fifth after losing the first Test, while a draw in the second pushed their PCT down to 45.83. The series defeat at home has significantly affected Bangladesh’s chance of making the WTC final.
The West Indies’ PCT, meanwhile, rose from 26.92 to 27.38. However, they have already been knocked out of the race for the WTC final.
