WTC Final Qualification: Exact Results India Need To Qualify For Title-Decider
NDTV
After beating Australia in Perth Test, here's how India can qualify for ICC World Test Championship final.
The Indian cricket team gave their ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final qualification hopes a big boost with a comprehensive 295-run victory against Australia in Perth. The result pushed Australia to the second spot on the points table while India claimed the top position. A few days later, South Africa's triumph over Sri Lanka at home saw the Proteas surpass Australia to claim the No. 2 spot, pushing the men from Down Under to No. 3. While there still remain a few months before the WTC points table is finalised, the situation is already looking quite nervy.
India, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka are all in the running for the top two spots. While victory in the Perth Test did give India a solid foundation to build on, Rohit Sharma's men still have a long way to go before they can be assured of a spot in the WTC final.
Explaining India's ICC World Test Championship Qualification Scenarios:
Scenario 1: India beat Australia 5-0, 4-1, 4-0 or 3-0
