Team India got a big blow with the defeat, now how will it reach the WTC final? See in the video, work will be done with this much victory

Cricket News Desk. The Indian team had to face a shameful defeat by 8 wickets in the first test match against New Zealand. India gave New Zealand a target of 107 runs to win, which the Kiwi team easily achieved. In the first innings, the Indian team was all out for just 46 runs and the Indian batsmen could not perform well. Team India had to pay the price for this by losing the match. Indian batsmen tried to make a comeback in the second innings, but by then it was too late.

PCT of Indian team decreased
Now after losing the match against New Zealand, the Indian team has suffered the loss of PCT in the points table of the World Test Championship. Before the match, the PCT of the Indian team was 74.24 which has now reduced to 68.06. But the Indian team is still on top in the points table and the doors are open for them in the final of the World Test Championship. In the current cycle of WTC, Team India has played a total of 12 Test matches so far, out of which it has won 8 and lost 3. Its PCT is 68.06.

Team India has 7 test matches left in WTC 2023-25
The Indian team still has to play two test matches against New Zealand and five against Australia. If Team India wants to dream of reaching the final of the World Test Championship, then it will have to win four of the remaining 7 Tests at any cost. In such a situation, Team India will have to win two test matches against New Zealand and two test matches against Australia at any cost. If Team India wins all four tests, their PCT will be 64.03, which will be enough to reach the final. If Team India wins five out of seven matches, its place in the final will be confirmed. This is the biggest difficulty. Team India has to play Border-Gavaskar series against Australia on Australian soil.

India has made it to the WTC final twice
Before this, two finals of the World Test Championship have been played. Both the times Team India reached the finals, but their dream of winning the title was broken once by New Zealand and once by Australia. This time too the Indian team is a strong contender for a place in the WTC final.
