The Three Lions' win at Edgbaston took their overall win percentage to 38.54, reflecting the improvement brought by the clean sweep.

However, the teams above them remain out of reach for now, leaving England in sixth place.

The series result nevertheless provides a significant boost to their WTC campaign. Winning all three Tests against Pakistan has helped England improve their numbers ahead of the remainder of the championship cycle.

Pakistan’s WTC Position Takes Another Hit

Pakistan entered the final Test at the bottom of the standings and leave Edgbaston in the same position.

Their eight-wicket defeat further damaged their win percentage, which slipped to 14.81.

The 3-0 series loss also underlined the difficulty Pakistan have faced in collecting enough victories to improve their position in the WTC race.

The Edgbaston result also brought the latest turbulent chapter in Pakistan cricket to a close.

The series had already been overshadowed by significant changes to the squad and coaching staff, with seven players sent home and the coaching setup reshaped before the third Test.
