India's Path to WTC Final Hinges on Key Border-Gavaskar Series Outcomes

India's victory over Australia in Perth boosts their WTC final hopes, but qualification depends on series results and other teams' performances.

India reclaimed the top spot on the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) points table after a dominant 295-run win over Australia in Perth.
South Africa's win over Sri Lanka and New Zealand's loss to England have shifted the standings, with South Africa now in second place and Australia in third.
India's qualification scenarios vary based on their series result against Australia, with outcomes ranging from a 5-0 sweep to a 2-2 draw impacting their chances differently.
New Zealand's defeat to England has effectively ended their WTC final hopes, while Australia and South Africa remain strong contenders alongside India.
India must achieve a points percentage threshold of at least 59.6% to stay in contention, with results from South Africa-Sri Lanka and Sri Lanka-Australia series also playing a crucial role.
