Updated World Test Championship Points Table: How Does India’s Defeat Against Australia Affect Their Odds Of Making The Final?

Australia trounced India in the third Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test on Friday in Indore, becoming the first team to qualify for the World Test Championship final in June. Australia topped the table with 66.67 percentage points, followed by India with 64.06 percentage points. Steve Smith’s squad now has 68.52 percentage points after defeating India by nine wickets. India, led by Rohit Sharma, is still in second place with 60.29 percentage points.

To qualify for the World Test Championship final, India must win the fourth Test against Australia beginning March 9 without relying on the results of other nations. As they prepare to meet New Zealand later this month, third-placed Sri Lanka (53.33 percent) is breathing down their neck. If India loses the fourth Test against Australia, tying the series at 2-2, while Sri Lanka wins the Test series 2-0, Rohit Sharma’s team will finish outside the top two.

Following Australia’s victory in the third Test, the WTC points table has been updated.

This was the WTC points table ahead of the third Test.

Australia trounced India by nine wickets, finishing the third Test in less than two days and ensuring a place in Friday’s World Test Championship (WTC) final here.
Travis Head (49) and Marnus Labuschagne (28) guided the visitors to victory after Usman Khawaja (0) was dismissed in the opening over.

After being hammered in the first two Border-Gavaskar Trophy matches in three days, the hosts were bowled out for 163 in their second innings, leaving Australia with a target of just 76 runs to record an incredibly satisfying victory.
