look news india
After defeating Bangladesh, Team India now has to face the challenge of New Zealand on home ground. After this, Team India will go to Australia to play a 5-match test series. Now the question arises that how many wins will India have to register in its remaining 8 Test matches to reach the final of the World Test Championship 2023-25.
In the points table of World Test Champions i.e. WTC, India is at first and Australia is at second place. Both India and Australia have played 11 matches out of which they have won 8-8 matches. Both have drawn one match each. However, in the current season, India has lost only 2 matches so far while Australia has faced 3 defeats.
India tops the WTC points table
After defeating Bangladesh, the Indian team's PCT in the WTC points table has increased to 74.24 and now it has strengthened its hold on the top. Whereas, Australia's PCT is 62.5. Sri Lankan team is in third place after India and Australia. Sri Lanka has won 5 out of 9 matches while the team has lost 4. The PCT of Lanka is (55.56). England, which is in fourth place, has a very low PCT of only 42.19.
This way you will get a ticket to the final
Rohit Sharma's team will play 3 test matches with New Zealand in the test series starting from October 16. In this series, if Team India manages to clean sweep the visiting New Zealand team 3-0, then it will be almost certain for Rohit and Company to go to the WTC final. After this domestic season, India will face Australia in the Border-Gavaskar series in December, which will be the Indian team's last Test series in the current season.
Victory in Australia will ensure India's place in the finals
If India loses the series against New Zealand at home, which seems highly unlikely, they will have to win against Australia by a big margin. If Team India fails to win a single match during the five-match Test series against Australia, then its hopes of reaching the final will depend on the Test series between Sri Lanka and South Africa. Overall, to make it to the WTC finals, India will have to win at least four of their remaining 8 matches, otherwise it could be difficult.
