WTC Final: How many matches will Team India have to win to reach the World Test Championship final, this is the equation
World Test Championship Final: The interesting battle for the ICC World Test Championship final continues. The picture is expected to be clear to a great extent from the remaining two matches of the India and Australia series. However, it is possible that there may be two matches of India vs Australia series and even then it is not known who will be the two teams in the final. Well, whatever happens, we just have to focus on whether Team India can play the final once again. What will the Indian team have to do from here so that its place in the final gets confirmed? Let us understand the equation.
South African team on top in WTC points table
At present, if we look at the World Test Championship i.e. WTC points table, we find that the teams of India and Australia are not at the top. At present South Africa occupies the number one position. South Africa has to play two test matches against Pakistan at home. If the South African team succeeds in winning even one of these two matches, then it will be certain that it will play the final. The work is not too difficult for him. That means one spot will be left after this. It is believed that only one team from India and Australia will be able to go to the finals.
Indian team has two matches left, Team India will play against Australia
The Indian team has only two matches left in this cycle of the World Test Championship and both the matches will be played against Australia. If we talk about Australia, then it has to play four matches. Two matches against India and after this the Australian team will tour Sri Lanka to play two matches. If Team India wins both the remaining matches of this series, then the Indian team will secure its place in the final of the World Test Championship. However, if it manages to win just one match then the matter will be stuck.
The World Test Championship issue is still stuck
From here, if India and Australia win one match each of the series, then the series will be level, but the matter will get stuck for the WTC final. Neither Team India will be out of the race nor will it be able to cement its place. After this, all the responsibility will be on Sri Lanka vs Australia series. If Sri Lanka beats Australia at home, it will probably not be of any benefit to Sri Lanka, but Team India can reach the finals. For now, the aim of the Indian team will be to win both the matches. But if something goes wrong then the Sri Lankan team will be seen playing a very important role.
