India’s WTC final qualification scenario
The Indians will feel a small sense of comfort as they seek just one more win to secure a spot in the ICC WTC 2021–23 Final, which will take place from June 7–11 at The Oval in London. India will top the WTC points table with 147 points total and a 67.43 win% if it sweeps Australia in the current four-match test series between India and Australia.
On the other hand, Australia is in dire need of a win or a tie in one of the final two matches in the Border Gavaskar trophy to eliminate Sri Lanka from the competition. Sri Lanka will have a chance to squeak in and win a spot in the ICC WTC 2021–23 Final if Australia fails to secure a draw or victory in the next two tests.
India, in the best-case scenario, could reach 67.43 win% if they unilaterally win the series and could end up at 60.6 win% if lose both next tests.
