Live Cricket Action Unfolds in Rawalpindi
Cricket enthusiasts are tuning in worldwide as Pakistan faces Sri Lanka in a thrilling Test match at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Monday 10 November 2025. This contest forms part of the prestigious ICC Test Championship, adding significant weight to every session played.
Understanding the ICC Test Championship Format
The ICC Test Championship represents the pinnacle of international red-ball cricket, featuring nine teams competing across a rigorous two-year cycle. The format culminates in a grand final where the two top-ranked teams battle for the ultimate prize. History was made in June 2021 when New Zealand clinched the inaugural title after a nail-biting victory over India.
A Glimpse at Cricket's Global Tournaments
While Test cricket has its dedicated championship, the sport's landscape is diversified with other major formats. The 50-over World Cup, first contested in 1975, boasts a rich heritage. Australia stands as the most successful nation, having lifted the trophy on five occasions (1987, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2015). In a dramatic final at Lord's, England emerged victorious in 2019, thanks in large part to a heroic performance from Ben Stokes that forced a super-over decider against New Zealand.
The Twenty20 format has taken the world by storm, becoming an instant global phenomenon. Its rapid-fire nature has spawned numerous highly lucrative leagues that attract massive audiences. Currently, Australia holds the crown as the reigning world champions, having secured the title in the 2021 tournament.
