Team India faces huge loss after WTC Points Table defeat
World Test Championship points table: The fourth match of the Test series between India and Australia lasted for five days, but in the end Team India had to face defeat. When India’s last wicket fell in the form of Mohammed Siraj, there were about 13 overs of play left. The Indian team was thinking of drawing the match, but it was not possible. After this defeat, while Australia has made a huge leap in the World Test Championship i.e. WTC points table, Team India has suffered a huge loss. However, even after this, neither the Australian team has yet confirmed its place in the WTC final nor has Team India been eliminated yet. But the equations have definitely gone wrong.
South Africa became the first team to reach the WTC final
If we talk about the World Test Championship points table, then the South African team is at number one. Just a day earlier, South Africa had confirmed its place in the final of the WTC by defeating Pakistan in the first Test. South Africa’s PCT is currently 66.89. The Australian team is still at second place. Before this match, Australia’s PCT was 58.89, which has now increased to 61.46. That means Australia has taken a giant leap. Even after this, the team has not been able to reach number one, but its chances of reaching the finals are looking quite high.
Team India faces big loss in PCT after defeat
If we talk about Team India, before this match Team India’s PCT was 55.88, which has now come down to 52.77. That means the Indian team has suffered huge losses. Now, although the path to the final is not closed for him, the path is much more difficult and it is possible that he may miss it. It is no longer in the hands of the Indian team to reach the finals, it will have to depend on the wins and losses of other teams.
The last match of the series is still left
The last match of the series is still left. Which will be played in Sydney from January 3. This will be the last match of the Indian team in the World Test Championship. However, after this the Australian team will be seen playing a two-Test series with Sri Lanka. That means Australia has three matches left, while Team India has only one match left. Now India’s equations have gone awry and it is possible that next year’s WTC final will be Australia vs South Africa, although we will have to wait for a few days for this.
