ICC World Test Championships: New Zealand have moved to the top of the ICC World Test Championships (WTC) standings with a comprehensive 281-run victory over South Africa on Wednesday.

Inaugural WTC champions dominated the contest at Bay oval to cruise to victory late on the fourth day and in the process moved ahead of Australia and India, and now sit top of the current standings with a 66.66 percent points percentage, ICC reports.

During this current WTC cycle, New Zealand has played only three Tests. Their series in Bangladesh ended in a 1-1 draw towards the end of last year, and they secured a victory over South Africa in the first Test at home that propelled the 2021 champions to the top of the standings.
