India WTC Final Chances After Sydney Test loss: From the perspective of the World Test Championship final, the Test match being played between India and Australia in Sydney is very important. This match is at a very exciting turn, where by the end of the second day, Team India has scored 141 runs at the loss of 6 wickets in the second innings. India had gained a lead of only 4 runs in the first innings, so the result of the Sydney Test could go either way. But a win or loss or even a draw can have a deep impact on India’s hopes of playing the World Test Championship final.
Now the question is that if Team India loses the Sydney Test, can it still reach the final? Actually the truth is that if India loses the Sydney Test then it will clearly be out of the race for the final. If it wants to remain in the race for the final, it will have to defeat Australia at any cost. The condition of Team India is so bad that even if it is successful in getting the Sydney Test drawn, it will not get entry into the title clash.
We must win at any cost
If the Indian team wins the Sydney Test by any margin, then only its hopes of reaching the World Test Championship final will remain alive. If India wins, its points percentage will increase to 55.26, due to which it will be placed second in the table. In such a situation, India will have to hope that Australia does not register a single win in the upcoming 2-match Test series against Sri Lanka. If both the Tests between Sri Lanka and Australia are drawn, then India will enter the final by winning the Sydney Test.
