Bangladesh is now in fourth place in the standings, with three wins, one defeat, and one tie from five matches. They have 40 points and a winning percentage of 66.67. Despite the significance of the game, Bangladesh’s position in the table remained unchanged from fourth.

Despite its defeat in Darwin, Australia remains first in the WTC 2025-27 standings. They have 7 wins and 2 losses in 9 games, totalling 84 points and a win percentage of 77.78. The loss against Bangladesh has reduced their percentage but not their top ranking.

How did Bangladesh win the Darwin Test against Australia?

The visitors outperformed the two-time WTC finalists in Darwin. Hasan Mahmud was the star bowler, recording a career-high 6 for 55 in Bangladesh’s first innings against Australia. His numbers gave Bangladesh an early advantage in the encounter.

Tanzid achieved his first Test century in only his second encounter, helping Bangladesh to a first-innings total of 426. That score gave Bangladesh a dominating lead, which they maintained throughout the match.

The combination of Mahmud’s career-best bowling and Tanzid’s maiden century highlighted Bangladesh’s performance in Darwin, resulting in one of their most comprehensive Test triumphs in recent memory. Bangladesh’s ability to score 426 in the first innings on Australian soil demonstrates the depth of their batting resources in this World Cup cycle.

Where does the WTC 2025-27 table stand following this outcome?

Australia continues to dominate the WTC 2025-27 rankings, with 84 points from 9 matches and a win percentage of 77.78. Despite the Darwin setback, their position at the top remains assured, considering the number of matches they have played and the points they have accumulated over the cycle.

Bangladesh is fourth in the rankings, with 40 points from five matches and a victory percentage of 66.67. Their record of three victories, one loss, and one draw displays a competitive effort during the current WTC season. The Darwin victory strengthens their burgeoning image as a team capable of defeating top-ranked Test nations on the road.

The updated standings reveal that, despite the Australians maintain their lead at the top, the Najmul Hossain Shanto-led team’s victory in Darwin is crucial in the context of the WTC 2025–27 cycle. They have now proved that their batting and bowling resources can combine well against the world’s best teams, and the Darwin result will be significant as the championship unfolds and qualification scenarios emerge.
