Humbled in Indore, an outright victory in Ahmedabad will seal India’s place in the World Test Championship final against Australia but if Rohit Sharma’s team loses or plays a draw, its fate will depend on the outcome of the Sri Lanka-New Zealand series. Australia by virtue of their nine-wicket win in Indore have already qualified for the grand finale at the Oval from June 7-11. Australia are sitting atop the WTC table with 68.52 percentage points (PCT). Percentage points are calculated when points earned by a team are divided by the points contested for.<\/p>\n

A team earns 12 points for a win, four for a draw and six in case it’s a tie.<\/p>\n

As of today, Australia have 148 points by virtue of 11 wins and four draws from 18 matches. Playing for 216 points on offer, they have a PCT of 68.52.<\/p>\n

Even if Australia lose the fourth and final Test against India, they would still remain on top with 64.91 PCT (148\/228\u00d7100).<\/p>\n

What happens to India?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

India’s PCT is 60.29 after earning 123 points in 17 Tests (10 wins and 2 draws) so far. India have lost a few points during the course of this cycle due to slow over rate.<\/p>\n

If India win the last Test, their PCT will go up to 62.5 with 135 points from a maximum of 216 on offer (18 Tests). They will then retain their second position and will qualify for final.<\/p>\n

However, in case of a defeat, India’s PCT will drop to 56.94 and then they will have to depend on the result of Sri Lanka’s away-series against New Zealand.<\/p>\n

In case of a draw, India’s PCT will drop to 58.79 and even then they will have to wait for the result of the Sri Lanka-New Zealand series.<\/p>\n

Ditto in case of a tie where India’s PCT will be 59.72.<\/p>\n

How can Sri Lanka qualify?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sri Lanka’s only shot at the final qualification will depend on a 2-0 victory in New Zealand which is one of the toughest away assignment for sub continental teams.<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka’s current PCT is 53.33 with 64 points from possible 120 (10 Tests).<\/p>\n

If India happen to lose, draw or tie final Test and Sri Lanka win the series 2-0, their PCT will be 61.11 with 88 points from a maximum 144 points at stake.<\/p>\n

But if Sri Lanka draws even one game and win 1-0, their maximum PCT will be 55.55 which will be less than what India (56.94) will have even if they lose the final Test.<\/p>\n
