In the World Test Championship, a team gets 12 points for winning a match, 0 for losing, 4 for a draw, and 6 for a tie. In such a situation, if a team has played 5 matches and won all of them, it will have 60 points and a win percentage of 100. If it wins 4 out of 5 matches and loses one, it will get 48 points for winning.
To calculate the percentage, multiply this by 100 and divide by 60. If the team wins 2 out of 5 matches, loses one, and one is drawn, it will get 24 points for winning and 8 points for drawing. Thus, it will have 32 points. To calculate the win percentage, multiply 32 by 100 and divide by 60. This will give the team’s win percentage.
