IND vs BAN Series: The Test series between India and Bangladesh is starting from 19 September. This series is becoming very important for India in view of the final of the World Test Championship. If Team India manages to clean sweep the visiting team in this series, then it will take another step towards the WTC final, while a defeat in this series can be a big setback for Rohit Sharma and the brigade. If India loses the match against Bangladesh, it will lose its number 1 crown in the WTC points table. Let's take a look at what difference the IND vs BAN Test series will have on the WTC points table.
Currently, Team India is at the top of the WTC points table with 68.52 percent points. Australia is at the second place with 62.50 percent points. If Bangladesh wins even one match on Indian soil, it can be a big advantage for the Kangaroos. Looking at Bangladesh's performance on the Pakistan tour, India will not make the mistake of taking it lightly.
If the Indian team led by Rohit Sharma loses 0-1 in the 2 match Test series against Bangladesh, then only 59 percent points will remain in its account.
If the visiting team defeats India 0-2 in the series, then only 56 percent points will remain in Team India's account. However, this is a bit difficult to happen because India has not lost any Test series at home since 2012. Apart from this, if both the matches of the series are drawn, then also India will suffer a loss, in such a situation, only 62.12 percent points will remain in Team India's account.
These are the three equations that can snatch the number-1 crown in the WTC points table from Team India. Even if the Test series between India and Bangladesh is drawn 1-1, India will still have 65.15 percent points and Team India will remain at number 1. If we look at the equation of India's victory, if Team India wins the series 1-0, it will get 68.18 percent points and if it wins 2-0, it will get 74.24 percent points.
