At one point it seemed that the host team captained by Babar Azam would win the match. But the trio of James Anderson, Mark Wood, and Ollie Robinson did not give Pakistan any chance to make a comeback. Meanwhile, after playing the last Test match against the British, Pakistan has to play a two-match Test series against the New Zealand team at home from the end of December. Like the Test Championship, this will be the last series of the neighboring country. Even if they win both matches, they will not be able to finish in the top two.

At the same time, Australia's team currently ranks first on the points table of the WTC 2021-23 with 75 percent wins. South Africa has 60 percent victory and they remain in second place in this list. The Indian team, captained by Rohit Sharma, is at number four with 52.08 percent marks. Sri Lanka is ahead of India at number 3, who have 53.33 points. Pakistan's team has slipped from fifth to sixth place after losing today's match. The English team has moved up one place to number five.

In June 2022, the final match of the WTC 2021-23 is to be played at the Oval ground in London. Before this, Team India has to play two matches against Bangladesh. At the same time, at the beginning of the new year, the Kangaroo team will visit India. Four-match Test series will be played between the two countries in there. To ensure India's place in the top-2, not only Bangladesh will have to lose both matches but also Australia will have to register a one-sided victory. If the Men in Blue fails to do so, then they will have to find a way to the final depending on the performance of other teams.
