After the defeat in the first Test match in Bengaluru, the Indian team strengthened its position on the first day of the Pune Test match by bowling out the entire visiting team for 259 runs in the first innings. But on the second day, the way the Indian team collapsed for 156 runs in the first innings in front of the strategy of the Kiwi team, the host team is in danger of defeat.
If the Indian team loses in the Pune Test match, then its hopes of reaching the WTC final may suffer a severe blow. If the Indian team has to face defeat, then the chances of the South African team reaching the final will increase significantly. In such a situation, if India has to secure its place in the final of WTC 2023-25, then at all costs they will have to ensure that they do not lose even a single upcoming Test match. Apart from this, the team will also have to ensure two draws to secure the place.
