World Test Championship final
After a win in the second Test of Border Gavaskar Trophy at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, Rohit Sharma’s team India’s points percentage has climbed from 61.66 to 64.06. India currently stands at the second position and have won ten, lost four and drawn two out of 16 matches. Check out India’s qualification scenario for the WTC final below,
How can India make it to WTC Final
Below are the scenarios of how can India make it to the WTC final.
- To secure a place in the WTC final, Team India needs only one win out of their two remaining Tests against Australia.
- India showed complete dominance in the first two Tests and won both of them with ease.
- Australia should avoid a 4-0 whitewash in the ongoing series against India.
- Australia needs to win at least one out of the remaining two matches to qualify for the WTC final.
- Sri Lanka needs to win their last two Tests against New Zealand to stay in the race for the WTC final.
Australia’s chances of making it to the finals of WTC is still uncertain as they need to win at least one of the remaining two Tests of the Border Gavaskar Trophy. If Australia doesn’t avoid a 4-0 whitewash, they would have to rely on other results to go in their favor. Sri Lanka is still in the race and might create a ruckus in the World Test Championship qualification scenario.
