These 5 teams including Team India were out of the race for the WTC final after losing the series 2-0, now the final is decided between these 2 teams!

WTC Final Scenario: By winning the first 2 matches of the 3-match Test series played between India and New Zealand (IND vs NZ), New Zealand has won the series 2-0. With this victory of New Zealand Cricket Team, India's hopes of playing the ICC World Test Championship Final (WTC Final) have also suffered a big blow.

The Indian team is still on top in the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 ​​Points Table, but Team India and second-ranked Australia are now in the points table. There is not much difference of points left. The Indian team is now in danger of being out of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 ​​Final (WTC Final).

Indian team suffered loss due to second consecutive defeat

Earlier, the Indian team was looking like the biggest contender to play the final of the ICC World Test Championship by winning its 2 consecutive matches with a PCT of 74.50, but after losing 2 consecutive matches against New Zealand, it is now looking difficult for the Indian team to play the final. .

Talking about the Indian team, now in this ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 ​​cycle, Team India has played a total of 13 matches, out of which India has faced defeat in 4, while 1 match has been a draw, apart from this, Team India Australia has won 8 matches, due to which India has a total of 98 points in the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 ​​points table, while the team's PCT is now 62.82, while Australia's PCT is 62.50 in 12 matches.

If the Indian team loses 3 more matches out of the remaining 6 matches, it will be completely out of the race for the finals, while the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to be played against Australia is going to be very decisive for Team India.

If India is out, WTC Final may be held in South Africa and Australia

The Indian team's dream of playing the ICC World Test Championship Final (WTC Final) for the third consecutive time seems to be completely shattered. In such a situation, if we look at the current equation, then if South Africa Cricket Team defeats Bangladesh in the second test and after that the test series of 2-2 matches to be played in South Africa. If India is successful in defeating Sri Lanka (Sri Lanka Cricket Team) and Pakistan (Pakistan Cricket Team), then it is certain to play the final.

On the other hand, if the Australian team defeats India 3-2 in the Test series and beats Sri Lanka 2-0 at home, then it is certain to play the final. In such a situation, if we look at the current situation, after the Indian team is out, this time the final of the World Test Championship (WTC Final) is being held in Australia and South Africa.
