New Delhi: India WTC Final Scenario: The third Test match played between India and Australia in Brisbane was a draw. In such a situation, to reach the final of the World Test Championship, India will have to win both its matches except the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and will have to depend on the results of other teams.
Know what is the equation?
India's two wins mean that its winning percentage will increase to 60.53. Whereas Australia can get 57.02 percent points even after winning 2-0 against Sri Lanka. At the same time, if India wins one test match and draws one then it will have 57.02 points and if Australia beats Sri Lanka 2-0 then it can overtake it. Then Australia will have 58.77 percent marks.
If India wins the series 2-1, then Australia will have to beat Sri Lanka by more than 1-0 margin for South Africa to lose to Pakistan by at least 0-1.
India will finish on 55.26 points if the series is drawn 2-2 and Australia loses to Sri Lanka 1-0 or Pakistan beats South Africa 2-0.
If the series is drawn 1-1, then
India will finish with 53.51 win percentage. In this situation, South Africa would have to lose both the Tests or Australia would lose 1–0 against Sri Lanka or the series would be drawn 0–0. If both the series are drawn then Australia and India will have 53.51 percent points each. But India will advance due to more series wins in this cycle, but if Sri Lanka wins 2-0 then it will go ahead of India.
If India loses 1-2
So India will have 51.75 percent victory points and will be out of the race for the final. In this scenario, Australia and South Africa will reach the final even if they lose their next match, where Sri Lanka will be on 53.85 win percentage points despite defeating Australia 2-0.
