Though rain is expected to fall on all five days, it may not be that intense to wash out the second Test. But if at all rain plays spoilsport on all five days, then both the teams will receive four points each.

This point is for the new 2023-25 World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. India, after losing the 2023 WTC Final against Australia, are still occupying the first spot because India’s first match against West Indies marked the beginning of their WTC cycle.

But drawing the second Test against West Indies will take them to the second spot and Pakistan may occupy the first place as they have won the first Test against Sri Lanka. And if the match occurs without much hindrance and if India wins, needless to say, they will continue to lead the chart.
