Australia finished third on the points table in the Inaugural World Test Championship after winning eight of their fourteen matches.
The Aussies lost the test series against India at home, which meant they needed at least a 2-1 margin against South Africa. But, their decision to skip the South Africa Test Series hampered their chances of qualifying for the final. They ended up with 69.2% points as New Zealand sneaked past them with 70% points.
Australia will look to go a couple of steps further this time and win the World Test Championship Title. They are scheduled to play six series in the new WTC cycle.
