WTC Final Can Team India still play the final?
Team India has faced defeat in another match under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Rohit Sharma was not there in the first match of India vs Australia series, in his absence Jasprit Bumrah took the responsibility of captaincy and also led the Indian team to victory. After the return of Rohit Sharma, it was expected that the next win would be even more historic, which could not happen. Now, while another series has been leveled, India has also fallen straight to third place in the World Test Championship points table. Australia has again captured the first number. But the big question is whether Team India can still enter the final of the World Test Championship. What new equations are being created now?
Australia again at number one, South Africa at second position
If we look at the points table of the World Test Championship at this time, we can see that the Australian team has again reached number one. Australia’s PCT has become 60.71 after the victory in this match. Whereas South Africa team is at second place. Its PCT is currently 59.26. That means the difference between the first and second team is not much. A win or loss in a match will change it.
Team India at third place in WTC points table
If we talk about the Indian team, then India has now moved to third position, which is a matter of concern. India’s PCT is currently 57.29. India vs Australia Till the second test, the Indian team was at number one, but due to the defeat in the same match, it has been forced to go straight to number three. However, the path to the final is still not closed for the Indian team. It is certain that the path has definitely become difficult.
Team India will have to win all three remaining matches.
There are still three more matches left in this Border Gavaskar Series between India and Australia. If Team India is successful in winning all three matches consecutively, then no one can stop it from going to the finals again. India’s victory will mean that Australia’s PCT will continue to reduce. While this will ensure India’s entry into the finals, difficulties will increase for Australia. If Team India loses even one of the remaining three matches or the match is drawn, then India’s final will become almost impossible. However, in this situation it also has to be seen how the other teams perform.
