It is almost certain that India will play in the final of the World Test Championship. In the Test series against Australia, the South African team lost the second match in a row by a big margin and now the claim of this team to reach the final of the World Test Championship has weakened. At the same time, with this victory, it is decided to play Australia's final. India has benefited from South Africa's defeat. Now Team India can easily play the final of the Test Championship for the second consecutive time by staying in second place.
Under the captaincy of Pat Cummins, Australia won the Boxing Day Test by a huge margin of an innings and 182 runs on the fourth day itself. Veteran spinner Nathan Lyon (3/58) and fast bowler Scott Boland (2/49) starred. With this win, Australia took an unassailable 2-0 series lead over South Africa and consolidated their position at the top of the World Test Championship points table. In this match, David Warner scored a brilliant double-century for Australia. At the same time, Alex Carey also played a century. Green took five wickets with the ball.
With this win, Australia got 12 points and now the Kangaroo team has 132 points from 14 matches. Now the winning percentage of this team is 78.57%. This means Australia is set to play in their first-ever World Test Championship final at The Oval next year. However, Australia is yet to play a total of five Test matches. Of these, one is against South Africa at home and four are in India.
The top two placed teams in the points table of the World Test Championship play the final. At present, the chances of India playing the final with Australia are very high. At the same time, South Africa's hopes of reaching the final have weakened after the defeat in the second consecutive Test. Now the South African team has reached the fourth position in the points table.
After South Africa's defeat in Melbourne, India is in second place with a win percentage of 58.93%, ahead of Sri Lanka (53.33%) and South Africa (50%) in fourth place.
What are the final equations for India?
If Team India wins 4-0 in the series against Australia, then it will reach easily. In this situation, the exit of South Africa and Sri Lanka will be decided. Both these teams will not be able to go to the finals even after winning their remaining matches.
Even if the Indian team defeats Australia by 3-0, India will easily reach the final.
If Team India loses to Australia in the four-match series or the series ends in a draw, then it will be difficult for India. In this situation, Sri Lanka and South Africa can overtake India by winning their remaining matches.
