India has 3 matches left, how will it reach the WTC Final, how many wins do it need now?

New Delhi. The picture of the ICC World Test Championship final is now slowly becoming clear. The South African team will move towards the trophy by registering just one win. The defeat of Adelaide has increased the problems of Team India but it still has a chance to make it to the final on its own. How many wins does India need against Australia in the next three matches and the work will be done even after how many draws. We will give you answers to all these questions.

The defeat against New Zealand in the last series played at home gave a huge blow to the Indian cricket team. Everyone knows that it will be difficult for India to win on the Australia tour. After the spectacular victory in the Perth Test, the host team’s counterattack shocked the expectations of the fans. Although still there is nothing wrong and Team India can easily reach the final but for this it will have to work hard.

How much victory does India need?
To make it to the World Test Championship final, India needs two wins and a draw from the remaining three Test matches in Australia. This will take their percentage to 60.53% and they will be at least second behind South Africa. Australia can only reach 57.02% even if they win 2-0 in Sri Lanka.

If India wins the series 3-2 then their percentage will be 58.77% and Australia can remain below them even if they defeat Sri Lanka 1-0. If India loses by 2-3 then their percentage will be 53.51%. In such a situation, Australia, Sri Lanka and South Africa can all leave them behind. In this situation, for India to qualify, South Africa would need to lose both the Tests against Pakistan and hope that Australia gets at least a draw in Sri Lanka.
