WTC Points Table: Will India and South Africa clash in the final? Australia may be out like this.

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.

If the Border-Gavaskar Trophy ends in a 2-2 draw between the two teams, then Australia will have to win the series in Sri Lanka without losing any match, only then will it be able to reach the final. Apart from this, if Australia wins the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2-1, then it can reach the final directly. This means that the path to the final is not easy for Australia at the moment and it can also be out of this race. On the other hand, South Africa needs to defeat Pakistan in just 1 match out of 2 test matches to reach the final.
