Openers’ Averages WTC: With one cycle of the WTC completed and the next one now in full swing, we look at the team-wise average opening stands in the tournament so far!
The World Test Championship began in August 2019 with the Ashes. In almost 2 and a half years, we have already completed one cycle and crowned the first-ever World Test Champions in New Zealand!
However, with Test-match bowling at its absolute best these days, a good opening stand becomes all the more important in giving a team that solid platform to launch upon in the latter overs.
Here we will look at the team-wise average opening partnerships through the course of these two and a half years of the WTC’s existence:
#9- Bangladesh
