With eight victories, three defeats, and one tie from twelve games and a points percentage (PCT) of 69.44, South Africa took first place in the WTC standings. They went on to win the WTC mace by defeating Australia in a seesaw final at Lord's.

The ICC will award $2.16 million to Australia, the runners-up in the WTC 2025 Final, as they failed to defend their championship. Despite being clear favorites to win after the first two days, Australia absolutely collapsed on Day Three as the Proteas, led by Temba Bavuma, walked away with a win.

India will get $1.44 million after placing third in the WTC rankings. During the cycle, India played 19 games, winning nine, losing eight, and drawing two. They ended up with a PCT of 50.00 after accruing 114 points.
