WTC Scenario: Team India, forget the WTC final! This will be the condition of India after losing in Gabba.

The third match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy is being played between India and Australia at Gabba. Batting first, Australia put around 445 runs on the board. In response, India's top order has failed miserably. After Adelaide, the clouds of defeat are looming over Team India at Gabba as well. If Team India loses at Gabba, then its hopes of playing the WTC Final 2025 will also suffer a major setback. Let us see what will be the position of Team India in the points table of the World Test Championship 2023-25 ​​if India loses at Gabba and what will be its equations for the WTC Final.

What will happen to Team India after losing in Gabba?

South Africa, Sri Lanka, India, and Australia are still in the race for the final of the World Test Championship 2025. Currently, South Africa is at the top with 63.33 percent points. Australia is second with 60.71 percent points and Team India is at number three with 57.29 percent points. If Team India loses the Gaba Test, it will remain at number three but its points will be reduced.

After this, if Team India wins both the remaining matches of the series, then its points will become 58.8% and Australia's points will be 57%. Then India will come at number 2 and Australia at number three. If the Indian team wants to enter the WTC Final 2025 directly without depending on any other team, then it will have to win the Gaba Test and after this, it will have to win the remaining two matches of the series as well.

If Team India loses 1-3 or 1-4 in the Border Gavaskar Trophy, then it will be out of the race for WTC final and Australia will make it to the final. On the other hand, if BGT is drawn 2-2, then Sri Lanka will have to do wonders for Team India to reach WTC. Sri Lanka will have to whitewash Australia in the two-match series at home. Apart from this, another equation is that if Australia wins BGT 3-2, then South Africa will have to lose both the test matches against Pakistan at home, only then Team India will have a chance. At least one match between Australia and Sri Lanka must also be drawn.
