Pakistan’s cricket team has lost the first Test of their two-match series against Bangladesh by 10 wickets. The second and final Test of the series will start on August 30. After losing the first match, Pakistan’s position in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 points table has worsened. So, can Pakistan still make it to the WTC Final? Let’s find out.
Current Position and Challenge
After losing to Bangladesh, Pakistan has fallen to 8th place in the WTC points table. With this position, qualifying for the final is very challenging but not impossible.

Remaining Matches
Pakistan has played 6 matches in the 2023-25 WTC cycle so far, winning 2 and losing 4. Their win percentage stands at 22.22%. They have 8 more Test matches to play: 6 at home and 2 in South Africa.
Path to the Final
To qualify for the final, Pakistan needs to win all 8 remaining Test matches. If they win every match, they will become strong contenders for the WTC Final.
Team Form
Currently, Pakistan’s team is not in great form. Their last Test series win at home was in 2021 against South Africa. Since then, they have lost series against Australia (0-1) and England (0-3), and drawn the series against New Zealand. It remains to be seen if Pakistan can turn their fortunes around and secure a spot in the WTC Final. So far, Pakistan has not reached the WTC Final.
