Gabba Test drawn, how will Team India now enter the WTC Final?

WTC Points Table: The third Test match played between India and Australia at the Gaba ended in a draw after reaching a thrilling turn. The match was stopped due to poor light and rain in the final session of the fifth day. This result not only affected the series, but also changed the points table of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25.

Points table position

South Africa is currently in first place with 63.33 percent points. Australia is in second place with 58.89 percent points, while India is in third place with 55.88 percent points. The draw of the Gaba Test has affected the chances of both the teams for the WTC final. Now the result of every match has become important.

WTC final equation for Team India

India will have to win both the upcoming Test matches to reach the final of the World Test Championship. If the Indian team wins both these matches, its points percentage will increase to 60.52. In this situation, India will directly qualify for the final and Australia's hopes will end.

However, if South Africa wins even one Test against Pakistan in its next series, it can reach the final. In such a situation, the final match will be between India and South Africa.

Other possible equations

If the Indian team wins only one of the next two Test matches and the other is drawn, it will have to depend on Sri Lanka to reach the WTC final.

Australia will play a two-match Test series against Sri Lanka after the Gabba Test. If Sri Lanka manages to defeat Australia in this series, India can get a ticket to the final. But if Australia manages to defeat Sri Lanka, India's hopes of reaching the final will end.

Challenge for Team India

After the Gabba Test was drawn, the road to the WTC final has become difficult for India. Now the Indian team will have to strengthen its strategy and win the next two Tests. For this, a balance has to be made in both batting and bowling departments.

For Team India, this series is now not only an opportunity to win, but also the last chance to secure their place in the WTC Final. The next Test matches will prove to be very exciting and decisive for the Indian players and fans.

Conclusion:

The draw of the Gabba Test is not only an important turning point in the series, but it also makes the race for the WTC Final more interesting. Team India will now have to enter the field with full strength and strategy, so that they can achieve their goal.
