How India Can Still Reach WTC Final

It was India's fifth loss in the ongoing WTC cycle, causing a significant drop in their points percentage (PCT), which fell from 62.82 to 58.33.

India thus dropped to the second spot behind reigning champions Australia, who have regained the top spot with a PCT of 62.50.

India are now scheduled to fly Down Under to play the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

However, to qualify for the final without depending on external results, India now must win four of their remaining five games against Australia.

Australia, on the other hand, are in a better position as they need to win four of their remaining seven Tests.
