Four years ago I was really excited when the idea of the World Test Championship came out. I mean, it was partially a reason for me to start this blog.
And then I realized how lopsided the format was, the influence the Big 3 had on finances and scheduling, how expensive it was to host Tests, etc.
A part of me gave up hope.
However, with the recent overseas wins of NZ in India, SA in Bangladesh, and Bangladesh in Pakistan—that hope has rekindled.
Therefore, this is a good time for us to revisit the WTC alternative points table algorithm my friend and I had created four years ago to create a more balanced system. For this WTC cycle, I have analyzed each of the 51 Test matches and 578 completed sessions one-by-one so you don’t have to.

World Test Championship – Algorithm Refresher
Before we start, he is a quick refresher on how our alternative points table worked.
Our WTC points table algorithm (1) distributes points on a session-by-session basis rather than an all-or-nothing system for a Test match, (2) includes Home/Away points for both wins & draws, and (3) includes a bonus to reward massive victories (Test match net run rate equivalent).
Points are calculated as follows:
- 2 points per session won, 1 point per session Tied
- There are 15 maximum sessions in a Test (3 sessions per day), so 30 points maximum per Test for the session-by-session category
- The details of the algorithm used to decide who won each session is outlined in the original article and is left as an exercise to the reader.
- Bonus: 2 * (Number of Sessions Remaining)
- Example: If the Test finishes at the end of Day 4, the winning team would get 6 bonus points – (2 * (3 sessions remaining))
- Home/Away
- Away wins and away draws would be awarded more points.
- 16 – Home Win, 8 – Home Draw
- 24 – Away Win, 12 – Away Draw
The maximum points a team could earn per Test is outlined below (Example: 24 – away win points + 30 session points = 54 total if the team won all the sessions).
| Points | Win | Draw | Loss | Maximum Points Possible (Per Match) |
| Home | 16 | 8 | 0 | 46 |
| Away | 24 | 12 | 0 | 54 |
| Average* | 20 | 10 | 0 | 50 |
Finally, since each team plays a different number of matches, we will take a percentage determined by (total points earned)/(maximum points possible*).
The maximum points possible will be determined by (number of matches played * 50), where we choose 50 because it is the average between 46 & 54 and would hence, weight away wins & draws more.
I coded this algorithm in R & Python and double checked the calculations by hand for the session-by-session analysis.
Key Takeaways
- England (79) & India (76) won the most sessions so far, while Australia (47) have tied the most sessions. West Indies (24) & Bangladesh (29) have had the least session wins in this cycle of the WTC so far
- We have had a spectacular run of dramatic overseas victories. Each team has had at least one overseas win:
- West Indies won in Australia (the Shamar Joseph Test)
- NZ won 3-0 in India & one Test in Bangladesh
- India won Tests in West Indies & South Africa
- South Africa 1-0 in West Indies & 2-0 in Bangladesh
- Australia won 2 Tests each in England & New Zealand
- Bangladesh won in Pakistan 2-0
- Pakistan won 2-0 in Sri Lanka
- Sri Lanka won 2-0 in Bangladesh and a Test in England
- England won one Test each in India & Pakistan
- The India vs South Africa Test at Cape Town was the shortest Test ever, lasting only 5 sessions.
- South Africa won all 9 out of 9 sessions in the recent 2nd Test vs Bangladesh and received the maximum possible 54 points for the Test in our points system.
WTC 2023-2025 Alternative Points Table – Results
Here is our alternative WTC 2023-25 points table at a glance.
| Team | Total Points | Average Max Points Possible* | Percentage | Actual WTC Percentage |
| Australia | 379 | 600 | 63.17% | 62.50% |
| India | 410 | 700 | 58.60% | 58.33% |
| South Africa | 233 | 400 | 58.25% | 54.17% |
| Sri Lanka | 239 | 450 | 53.11% | 55.56% |
| New Zealand | 277 | 550 | 50.36% | 54.55% |
| England | 411 | 950 | 43.26% | 40.79% |
| Pakistan | 206 | 500 | 41.2% | 33.33% |
| Bangladesh | 162 | 500 | 32.4% | 27.50% |
| West Indies | 122 | 450 | 27.11% | 18.52% |
*Note: We have added the same over-rate deductions as the current WTC table does (19 for England, 10 – Australia, 8 – Pakistan, 3 – Bangladesh 2 – India)
Observations
Our points table heavily rewards South Africa, who have dominated 3 overseas Tests (1 vs WI, 2 vs Bangladesh).
Sri Lanka are close by with 3 overseas Tests wins as well (2 vs Bangladesh, 1 vs England) but they lost points to Pakistan at home. Similarly, NZ had a good show vs Bangladesh & India away, but lost convincingly 0-2 against Australia (home) & Sri Lanka (away)
The interesting point our points table highlights is showcasing how close a Test match or Test series was. For example, the 2-2 Ashes translates into 132-118 in favor of Australia (due to overseas wins and draw).
In addition, no two Test series are alike.
The Pakistan-Bangladesh 2-Test series (where Pakistan batted well initially and even declared) resulted in 84-24 points in favor of Bangladesh. This series was closer than the SA-Ban series (101-7 in favor of SA), where SA completely decimated Bangladesh.
