Latest WTC Points Table: After India’s defeat in the Adelaide Test, there is turmoil in the points table of the World Test Championship. Due to this defeat, India has now slipped from first to third place, while Australia is at the top. Let us tell you that the Kangaroo team has defeated India by 10 wickets in Adelaide. After this match, the equations of the World Test Championship final also seem to have changed.
After the defeat against Australia, Team India’s points percentage has come down to 57.29, due to which the team has come to third place. Australia’s percentage, which has reached the top, is now 60.71. Due to India’s defeat, South Africa has also gained one place, which is in second place with a points percentage of 59.26. If the African team defeats Sri Lanka in the second test, it will overtake Australia and reach number one.
With the loss of the second test against England, New Zealand’s hopes of going to the final are over. England and New Zealand are currently at fifth and sixth position. Sri Lanka is currently placed at the fourth position in the points percentage of 50. Sri Lanka also has a chance to go to the final. Even if it beats Australia 2-0 after defeating South Africa in the second Test, it will still have to depend on the results of other matches to reach the final.
Final equation for India
If the Indian team wants to reach the finals without depending on any team, then it will have to win all the remaining three matches in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024. India can now have a maximum of 146 points and its points percentage cannot go above 64.03. On the other hand, Australia’s hopes of going to the finals are at their peak because they still have five Test matches left. After the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, he also has to play a two-Test series against Sri Lanka.
The conditions for India to reach the final are so difficult that even if it defeats Australia 3-1, it will not be certain that it will go to the final. This is because if South Africa, after defeating Sri Lanka in the second Test, beats Pakistan 2-0 in the upcoming Test series, then it will overtake Team India in the table. In such a situation, Africa will secure its place in the finals. There will be competition between India and Australia for the second place.
