Africa has not only won the two-match series 2-0 but has now overtaken Australia to top the points table of the World Test Championship. This victory of South Africa has increased India’s problems, but it still has a chance to play its third consecutive WTC final, but how?
South Africa’s points percentage has increased to 63.33, due to which this team occupies the first position in the table. Australia has slipped to second place, whose points percentage is currently 60.71. Talking about India, after losing the Pink Ball Test to Australia in Adelaide, it went straight from first to third place. Team India’s points percentage is currently 57.29. At present, South Africa seems to be a strong contender to go to the final. He still has to play a 2 test match series against Pakistan. If Africa wins 1-0 against Pakistan, it will secure a place in the finals, whereas a 2-0 win will be even more beneficial for it.
How will India reach the final?
Now the question is how can India reach the final? India and Australia are currently tied 1-1 in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. There are still 3 matches left in the series. If Team India wants to reach the final without getting into any trouble, then it will have to win the remaining three matches in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. If India is unable to beat Australia 4-1, then it will have to depend on the result of the South Africa vs Pakistan series.
If India wins the Border-Gavaskar Trophy by 3-2, then it will have to hope that Australia does not under any circumstances defeat Sri Lanka in the upcoming Test series. Overall, two defeats in the remaining three matches in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024 will completely take the Indian team out of the race for the finals.
