India was out of WTC Final as soon as Gaba Test was drawn! Now the final will be played between these two weak teams
WTC Final: The ongoing 5-match Test series against Australia is India's last bilateral series in the ongoing cycle of the World Test Championship. To single-handedly reach the WTC Final, Rohit and Company will have to win this series by a margin of at least 3 – 1, which is very difficult now. At the same time, the match played in Gaba ended in a draw. In such a situation, India will have to win the next two tests at any cost.
India is currently at third position in the points table of the ongoing cycle of the World Test Championship. He has 55.89 points percentage in his account. South Africa is in first place, whose marks percentage is 63.33. At the same time, Australia is at third position and their marks percentage is 58.89. The matter of concern here is that India now has to play only two more matches against Australia, whereas after India, Australia also has to play a two-match series against Sri Lanka. Apart from this, South Africa also has to host Pakistan for a two-match Test series.
WTC Final will be held between these teams
If India does not win the next two Test series against Australia, they will have to take help from Pakistan and Sri Lanka. However, this also seems quite difficult. Pakistan has gone on tour to South Africa and it will not be easy to beat the Proteas team at home. At the same time, defeating Australia is also a big challenge for Sri Lanka.
In such a situation, the Indian team will have to seal its final ticket by defeating the Kangaroos in the next two matches. If India does not win, the title match will be played between Australia and South Africa.
Matches will be played on this day
The next two matches between India and Australia will be played from 26 December and 3 January respectively. The next match is to be played in Melbourne, while the last one is to be played in Sydney. So far this series has been on par. India had won the first match by a huge margin of 295 runs. But after this, in the second match, the Kangaroos made a comeback and won by 10 wickets. At the same time, the third Test played at Gabba ended in a draw.
