ICC World Test Championship points table (updated) as on 15th December 2019

Two matches of the ICC World Test Championship culminated last evening as the fixture between Pakistan and Sri Lanka ended in a stalemate, while the battle between Australia and New Zealand produced an outright winner.

Rain played the spoilsport in the historic Test match involving the two Asian nations. This was the first time in 10 years that Pakistan hosted a Test at home, hence, the fans were excited for the game. The two teams' first innings lasted five days thanks to the rain breaks. Dhananjaya de Silva and Dimuth Karunaratne starred for the visitors as they scored 308/6 before declaring the innings.
