Team India WTC Final Scenario: The defeat of the fourth test against Australia has given big wounds to Team India. After this defeat, the condition of Rohit and company has become like that of RCB and Pakistan. Actually, to enter the final of the WTC, Team India had to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at any cost, but now Australia has eliminated the chances of defeat in this series. In such a situation, now India can enter the WTC final only by relying on others.
Let us tell you that the South African team has already reached the WTC final. Now there is a fight between India, Australia and Sri Lanka. To keep the hopes of the final alive, India will first have to win the fifth Test match against Australia to be played in Sydney. If Team India does not win the fifth Test, then it will be out of the race for the final of the World Test Championship. This means that even if the fifth Test played in Sydney is a draw, the Indian team will still be out of the race for the final.
It is not that if the Indian team wins the Sydney Test, it will reach the finals. If the India-Australia series is drawn 2-2, Team India will have to keep an eye on the Test series between Sri Lanka and Australia. If Sri Lanka wins the two-match Test series against Australia 1-0, then only Team India will be able to reach the WTC final. This means that one test match between Australia and Sri Lanka is drawn and the Sri Lankan team wins one test match. Well, it seems quite difficult for this to happen.
If Sri Lanka clean sweeps Australia in the two-Test series and Pakistan defeats South Africa in the second Test, then the Sri Lankan team will enter the WTC final. If Australia defeats India in the fifth Test played in Sydney, then they will directly enter the final of the World Test Championship. However, even if the Sydney Test is lost, the Kangaroos will not be out of the race for the final. Then they will have to win the test series against Sri Lanka.
