Team India WTC Final qualification scenario if they lose BGT: The Indian cricket team is currently going through a lot of difficulties. After a 3-0 clean sweep in the home Test series against New Zealand, now the path to the final of the World Test Championship has become very difficult for India. India now have only five Tests left and they have to play all of them in Australia. Australia's tour is always tough and now with the Test Championship final ticket at stake, this series has become even more challenging.
India will have to win the series in Australia by at least 4-0 to play the Test Championship final on its own. If the Indian team loses the series even after going to Australia, then they will be completely dependent on the results of other teams. Even after losing the series, the Indian team can go to the finals. Let us know what are the complete equations.
This is how India can play the WTC final after losing the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
If Australia wins the series 3-2, then India will have to depend on the results of other teams. In such a situation, New Zealand should not win more than one match in the series against England. Along with this, South Africa and Sri Lanka should also lose two of their remaining four Tests.
Even if Australia wins the series 1-2, 1-3, 0-1 or all the matches of the series are drawn, India will have a chance. In such a situation, England will have to win the series against New Zealand. Apart from this, Pakistan should win 2-0 in South Africa tour and Australia should win 2-0 in Sri Lanka. Apart from all this, the series between South Africa and Sri Lanka should be drawn 1-1.
In the worst case scenario, if India loses the series by 1-4 or even 0-2 or 0-3, then the matter will become very difficult. In such a situation, a 2-0 or 3-0 win for England in the series against New Zealand will be mandatory. Apart from this, Pakistan will have to clean sweep in South Africa and Australia will also have to clean sweep in Sri Lanka. The series between Sri Lanka and South Africa should be drawn 1-1.
