WTC Final: Another team’s card cleared, India out of top-2… Only 4 left in the race, unless a miracle happens

New Delhi. 8-9 December is going to bring an earthquake in the race for the WTC final. Results of 3 test matches can come in these two days, which can affect the ranking of 7 teams. If nothing like a miracle happens then India’s defeat is certain. New Zealand’s defeat seems more certain than India’s. It is becoming difficult for Sri Lanka to save the match. Let us see how the WTC point table is before these results and what will be its shape after the results.

If India loses, it will go from top to third place.
The Indian team is currently at number one in the WTC points table with 61.11 percent points. India is followed by South Africa (59.26) and Australia (57.69). If India loses the second Test match to Australia in Adelaide, it will suffer a loss of about 4 percentage points. If Australia wins, India will slip to third place with 57.29 percent points. Australia will come first with 60.71 percent points. But if India takes this match, it will further strengthen its position with 63.54 percent points.

New Zealand will be out of the race if it loses
The New Zealand team is still in the race for the WTC final with 47.92 percent points. But England seems to have sworn to break his/her hopes. The second test is being played between the two teams. England is very close to victory. If New Zealand loses this match then it will be out of the race for the WTC final. Even if the match is drawn, he/she will be out of the race. If England wins, it will leave New Zealand behind and come fifth in the points table.

What will happen if South Africa wins?
South Africa is also moving forward strongly in the race for the WTC final. After defeating Sri Lanka in the first test match, it has strengthened its position in the second test also. It has taken a lead of 221 runs over Sri Lanka in the second test and has 7 wickets left. If there is no major upset in the match then the African team will give a target bigger than 300 to Sri Lanka. It has never been easy to achieve such a big target on the fifth day of the match on South African wicket. This will not be easy for Sri Lanka also. If South Africa wins this match, it will reach first place with 63.33 percent points.
