After South Africa’s 2-0 win over Sri Lanka, the points table of the World Test Championship has become very exciting. At present, along with India, teams from Australia, South Africa and Sri Lanka are contenders to reach the finals. The biggest contenders to reach the final are currently South Africa, who are one win away from securing their place in the WTC title match to be held at Lord’s next year. As far as India is concerned, its path has become a bit difficult.
How will Team India reach the WTC final?
India will now have to win its next three matches in the Border-Gavaskar series against the Kangaroo team to make it to the finals. If the team is unable to do so then it has to depend on the results of other teams. Suppose India loses the Test series against Australia by a margin of 2-3. In such a situation, the team will have to depend on Pakistan and pray that the neighboring country beats the Proteas 2-0 on its own soil.
This task will be difficult for Pakistan
This will be a difficult task for the Pakistan team, because South Africa is very strong on home ground. This is not enough for Team India. Apart from Pakistan’s victory, the team would also like Australia to defeat Sri Lanka in the first match of the two-match Test series at home.
There was a time when India was at the forefront
Let us tell you that a few months ago there was a time when Team India was at the forefront of the race to reach the final of the World Test Championship for the third consecutive time. But after losing 4 out of the last five tests, the equation has completely changed. If India win two and draw one of the remaining three Test matches against Australia, they have a chance to finish in the top two even if the Kangaroos win the series against Sri Lanka by a 2-0 margin.
