Team India is currently at the top of the WTC points table with 68.52 percent points. Australia is right behind them at the second position with 62.50 percent points. If Bangladesh wins even one match on Indian soil, it can benefit the Kangaroos immensely. Looking at Bangladesh’s performance on the Pakistan tour, India will not make the mistake of taking them lightly.
If Rohit Sharma-led Team India loses 0-1 in the 2-match Test series against Bangladesh, they will be left with only 59 percent points in their account.
If the visiting team defeats India 0-2 in the series, then only 56 percent points will remain in Team India’s account. However, this is a bit difficult to happen because India has not lost any Test series at home since 2012.
Apart from this, if both the matches of the series are drawn then also India will suffer a loss, in this situation only 62.12 percent points will remain in the account of Team India.
