Can India top the WTC?
- If the Indian team wins the Test series against Australia by a margin of 4-1, then it will definitely reach the WTC final.
- Even if India wins the series 3-1 against Australia, it will be a great chance for the Indian team. But then they will have to hope that Sri Lanka defeats South Africa in the second test.
- There is a chance for India even if they win the series against Australia by a margin of 3-2. However, in such a situation, India will have to hope that Sri Lanka draws at least one match in the home Test series against Australia.
- Even if the series with Australia ends in a 2-2 draw, India will still have some chance. In such a situation, if South Africa defeats Sri Lanka in the second Test and the Sri Lankan team manages to win the Test series against Australia, then India's place in the final will be confirmed.
