WTC Final Scenario Team India will play the final again! Only this many matches have to be won
World Test Championship WTC Points Table : Team India has once again captured the number one position in the ICC World Test Championship points table by defeating England 4-1 in the Test series. Meanwhile, even though Australia has won both the matches of the 2-Test series against New Zealand, India still remains at number one. It is clear from this that the Indian team is a contender to play the final once again. He will have to win only half of the remaining matches and the ticket to the final will be confirmed. Let us try to understand with whom and where the Indian team will play the match now.
Indian team will play test series against Bangladesh and New Zealand at home.
After the Test series against England, the Indian team will now play a two-Test series against Bangladesh at home. Although this series is still far away and its schedule has not been announced by BCCI, but when India plays on its own soil, there is very little chance that a team considered weak like Bangladesh will be able to compete with India. That means, they seem almost certain to win these two matches. After this the Indian team will play three test matches against New Zealand. This series is also going to happen at home. Although the New Zealand team is strong, it will be interesting to see how this team performs after coming to India. Its schedule has also not come yet. That means Team India will be seen playing five matches at home. There is a very strong possibility of winning these matches.
Indian team will be tested in Australia series
After this, the real test of the Indian team will be there. When Team India will go to Australia for a 5-match series. This series is going to be very important. Although India has defeated Australia in many matches on its own soil, still Australia should not be underestimated. If the Indian team wins even one of the 5 matches here, then its place in the final of the World Test Championship will be confirmed. That means India has to play a total of 10 tests from here till the end. Of these, five will have to be played at home and five on foreign soil. If India wins even 5 out of these 10, then its place in the finals seems to be assured. However, how other teams perform will also be important.
India still on top in the World Test Championship points table
If we look at the latest points table of the World Test Championship, currently Team India is at number one with a PCT of 68.51. India has won 6 out of the 9 matches it has played and has lost two. There has been a draw in one match. After this, Australia is at second place. His PCT is 62.5. Australia has won 8 and lost three of its 12 matches. One match has ended in a draw. Whereas New Zealand team is occupying the third position with 50 PCT. He has won three out of six matches and has faced defeat in only three. Only the same number of PCTs i.e. 50 are from Bangladesh. Bangladesh has won one out of two matches and lost one. From this perspective, all the upcoming test matches are going to be special for every team. There will be changes in the points table match by match, and finally the final match will be played between the top 2 teams.
