WTC Final: In the first match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 at the Perth ground, Team India, led by Jasprit Bumrah, defeated Australia by 295 runs and won the 5-match Test series 1-0. After winning the Test match at the Perth ground, the hopes of Indian cricket supporters that Team India will reach the final of the World Test Championship have increased to a great extent.
Looking at the recent position of the points table, the chances of Team India reaching the final of the World Test Championship (WTC Final) seem very low. In such a situation, reports are that these two teams can be seen playing in the final of the World Test Championship to be held in June.
Despite winning the Perth Test, Team India will not be able to reach the WTC Final
In the Test match played between Team India and Australia (IND VS AUS) at the Perth ground, Team India defeated Australia by 295 runs in the match, thanks to the deadly bowling of Jasprit Bumrah and the brilliant innings of Yashasvi, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli.
After the victory in the Perth Test match, if Team India still wants to participate in the final (WTC Final) of the World Test Championship, then the team still has to win 3 out of the remaining 4 matches in the series, which seems almost impossible for the Indian team to do on the Australia tour.
Australia has the highest chances of reaching the final
Despite losing the Perth Test match, Australia's team is at the top in the points table (WTC 2023-25 Points Table) of the World Test Championship. Due to which it is believed that the Australian team will definitely be seen playing in the final match of the World Test Championship.
These 2 teams can be seen playing in the final
If Team India does not qualify for the final of the World Test Championship (WTC Final), then it is expected that along with Australia, Sri Lanka's team can qualify for the final of the World Test Championship. If this happens, then this time instead of India, Sri Lanka's team can come in front of the defending champion as an Asian team.
