How will Team India reach the WTC Final, how many more matches will it have to win from Australia?
The Indian cricket team has defeated Australia badly in the very first match of the five-Test series. With this, the Indian team has taken the lead in the series and has now reached the first position in the World Test Championship points table. After winning the very first match of the series, the Indian team has gone far ahead, whereas the Australian team seems to be on the back foot. Not only this, once again Team India has become a strong contender to go to the WTC final. However, the road ahead is still quite difficult.
Team India again reached the top in the World Test Championship points table.
Team India was at the first position in the World Test Championship points table, but after the defeat of three consecutive matches at the hands of New Zealand, the team had to go to the second position. After this, the only way for India to go back to the top was to defeat Australia in the very first match. The Indian team did exactly this under the captaincy of Jasprit Bumrah. This victory becomes even more special because the Indian team was playing without Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Mohammed Shami. Now let us understand what is Team India’s PCT now and what will it have to do from here if the team wants to go to the WTC final.
PCT of India and Australia
If we look at the World Test Championship points table at this time, the Indian team has again become number one with 61.11 PCT. If we talk about Australia, it has suffered loss. His PCT is now 57.69 after losing this match. However, the team still remains at second position. But the crisis for Australia has now increased. If the team loses one more match from here, then it may have to go down from second position also.
India will have to win three more matches out of four
A total of 5 matches are to be played in the India and Australia Test series. India has won the first match. If from now on, Team India wins three more matches and one match ends in a draw, then the Indian team will directly reach the finals. But even if Team India loses one match and wins three matches, it will still have the possibility of going to the finals, but a lot will depend on how the other teams perform in their respective Tests. If the Indian team loses two of its remaining four matches from here, then its chances of reaching the final will be very less, which should be considered as negligible.
