Though India lead the series 2-1 and are placed second in the WTC points table, their progression to the final isn&#8217;t guaranteed. Other than India, Sri Lanka also remain in the fray, occupying the third spot at present. The Lankans have a 2-match series against New Zealand up next, a whitewash in which, can see the Lankans qualify for the summit clash against the Aussies.<\/p>\n<p>India did their qualification chances a huge favour by winning the first two matches of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy but a loss in the Indore match derailed their progression a bit. Though the damage wasn&#8217;t significant, India do need to avoid a defeat in the Ahmedabad Test in order to keep things in their own hands.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ins_instory_dv\">\n<div class=\"ins_instory_dv_cont\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"98d9qo98\" id=\"story_image_main\" src=\"https:\/\/c.ndtvimg.com\/2023-03\/98d9qo98_wtc-points-table_625x300_07_March_23.jpg?im=FeatureCrop,algorithm=dnn,width=806,height=605\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>How can India qualify for World Test Championship final?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. A victory against Australia in the 4th Test would automatically earn India the ticket to World Test Championship final. With a PCT of 60.29, India sit comfortably ahead of Sri Lanka (PCT of 53.33%) in the standings. With a win, India will be assured of a place in the final, no matter the result of the Sri Lanka &#8211; New Zealand Test series.<\/p>\n<p>2. In case India only draw the 4th Test, Sri Lanka can usurp them with a 2-0 sweep against New Zealand. Anything less than a clean sweep would see the islanders remain third in the WTC points table.<\/p>\n<p>3. If the Indore Test result repeats in Ahmedabad, India could get eliminated from the WTC final race. But, for such a development to take place, Sri Lanka would need to win both of their matches against New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, anything less than a 2-0 result would result in Sri Lanka&#8217;s exit from the World Test Championship final reckoning.<\/p>\n<h3>Featured Video Of The Day<\/h3>\n<p><iframe id=\"videoembed\" class=\"lozad\" img=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/video\/embed-player\/id\/686260\/&amp;category=embed&amp;autostart=1&amp;pWidth=620&amp;pHeight=390&amp;embed_type=story&amp;ctitle=0&amp;mutestart=true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/video\/embed-player\/id\/686260\/&amp;category=embed&amp;autostart=1&amp;pWidth=620&amp;pHeight=390&amp;embed_type=story&amp;ctitle=0&amp;mutestart=true\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden;width:100%;height:403px;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Azhar, Yuvraj Turn Up For Sania&#8217;s Swansong Exhibition Match<\/p>\n<div class=\"tgs\">\n<p>Topics mentioned in this article<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.ndtv.com\/india-vs-australia-2023\/world-test-championship-final-scenarios-can-india-qualify-for-final-even-if-australia-win-4th-test-3841120\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] A victory over Australia in Ahmedabad guarantees India WTC final berth\u00a9 AFP Australia have already booked themselves a spot in the ICC World Test Championship final, having secured a victory in the third Test against India in Indore.
