The race for the final of the World Test Championship has become very exciting. India, Australia and South Africa are the big contenders to reach the final. But last time’s champion Australia can still be out of the race. It currently has 4 Test matches left.
After the Gabba Test match played between Team India and Australia, the race for the final of the World Test Championship has become more exciting. Apart from these two teams, South Africa is also a big contender to reach the final. But the path to the final is not going to be easy for all three teams. Last time’s champion Australia is also in danger of being out of the final race. The last two matches of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy are going to be very important for Australia. Otherwise, India and South Africa can clash in the final.
It is also difficult for Australia to reach the WTC final
So far 3 matches have been played between India and Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, during which Australia has won one match and lost 1. At the same time, one match has also ended in a draw. In such a situation, now 2 matches are left in this series. If Australia has to reach the final without depending on any team, then it will have to win both the remaining matches at any cost. If it succeeds in doing so, then it will directly secure its place in the final.
But if Australia loses both the matches of this series, it will be out of the race for the final, even if it wins both the test matches against Sri Lanka. If Australia loses both the matches, its maximum points will be 57.02 and the Indian team will remain ahead of it. On the other hand, if Australia loses one of the remaining two matches against India and draws one, it will have to beat Sri Lanka 2-0 to reach the final. If it fails to do this also, then the final will be played between India and South Africa.
