World Test Championship Final Race: The final match of the World Test Championship 2023-25 will be played at Lord's in England in June 2025. Those two teams who will be in the top-2 in the WTC points table will get a place in the finals. The Indian team has made it to the finals of the World Test Championship twice, but both times Team India had to face a crushing defeat. Once Australia and once New Zealand had broken his dream of winning the final. This time too the Indian team is a contender to reach the finals, but its hopes have been dealt a major blow due to the defeat in the second Test against Australia.
Team India is present at number three

The Indian team is currently at third position in the points table and its PCT is 57.29. Team India has three matches left in the current WTC, which it has to play against Australia only. Whereas in the points table, Australian team is at first position and its PCT is 60.71.
Will have to win 3 test matches against Australia
Now, if Team India wants to fulfill its dream of reaching the final of the World Test Championship, then it will have to win the remaining three Test matches against Australia at any cost. This is the only way left for him. Because after winning the next three test matches, his PCT will be 64.03, which will be enough to reach the final. Then the Australian team will not be able to go above that. At the same time, if the Indian team wins two test matches and one gets drawn, then it will have to depend on other teams, in which an if-but situation may arise.
These teams are also contenders
Because currently test series is being played between South Africa-Sri Lanka and England-New Zealand. The results of these series will affect the points table of the World Test Championship. The race for the World Test Championship is out for the teams of England and New Zealand. Whereas Sri Lanka and South Africa remain in the race.
