ICC WTC Points Table System
The International Cricket Council (ICC) will update the WTC 2025-27 points table right after the conclusion of every match.
According to this, each match of the upcoming WTC will be contested for the same number of points, i.e., 12 for a win, 6 for a tie, and 4 for a draw. For slow over-rates, teams will lose one championship point for each over-short.
In the previous cycle, each Test series carried a value of 120 points, which led to some sort of inequality in the table, as a team winning a Test in a two-match series got 60 points compared to a five-game leg where a Test win is valued at 24 points.
Listed below are the proposed points system from WTC Cycle 4 played between 2025 to 2027, which remained unchanged from the previous edition.
- Win: 12 points
- Tie: 6 points
- Draw: 4 points
- Defeat: 0 Points
- Penalty: For slow over-rates, teams will lose one championship point for each over short
The team will be ranked on the percentage of available points they won from the matches played.
| Points available per match | Percentage of points* | |
| Win | 12 | 100 |
| Tie | 6 | 50 |
| Draw | 4 | 33.33 |
| Loss | 0 | 0 |
* Teams will be ranked on the percentage of points won
