ICC World Test Championship 2019-21 points table, October 2019: India 240, others 232

India’s supremacy in the ICC Test Championship continued as they followed their 2-0 win in West Indies with a resounding 3-0 thrashing of South Africa at home. They are now on 240 points – 180 clear of any other team – though they are the only team to have played two series. In fact, India’s 240 points are more than the sum of points of all other teams put together.

South Africa, on the other hand, are yet to open their account and are at seventh place. They are tied with West Indies on points but just behind on runs per wicket quotient (0.299 to 0.411).
