How can India qualify for WTC final?
India must win the SCG Test to achieve a win percentage of 55.26, keeping their WTC final hopes alive. Australia’s qualification would then hinge on winning at least one Test against Sri Lanka. A 2-2 draw in the India-Australia series, combined with two draws in Australia’s series against Sri Lanka, would see India qualify due to winning more series (three vs. Australia’s two). However, if Australia earns more than eight points against Sri Lanka, they would edge ahead. Sri Lanka’s slim chances rely on winning both Tests against Australia and the SCG Test ending in a draw, securing a win percentage of 53.85.
