Both India and England may have to suffer losses in the World Test Championship 2025-27. In Lord’s Test, the game has been half an hour more than the scheduled time. The Slow-Over Rate Rules of the International Cricket Council (ICC) may have to pay penalty to captain Shubman Gill and Ben Stokes of both teams. Not only this, it is possible to cut the points of India and England in the World Test Championship table.

On the first day in the Lord’s Test, India was able to bowl only 83 overs, while on the second day only 75 overs were able to play. On the third day in this Test match, 13 less overs bowling were bowled than the limit. On the third day in the Lord’s Test, there was only 77 overs.

WTC points will cut points in tables

The team’s points will be cut due to the slow over rate under the rules of the World Test Championship. Remind you that after the fourth Test match of the 2023 Ashes series, Australia had to face a penalty of 10 points. In the same series, England had to suffer 19 points penalty. England had a total penalty of 22 points in the last cycle of the World Test Championship.

Talking about the current rule, a team will lose the same number of marks as much as a team has done by the scheduled time. On the first day, the Indian team threw 7 overs less. On the other hand, England also threw less over both days. Along with the teams, the players of both teams can also be penalty. The ICC rule says that the players will have to suffer 5 percent penalty of match fees for each over of all the overs that the team may have reduced during the day.
