India and Australia will be facing each other in a 4 match Test series starting from 9 February with the first Test being played in Nagpur. As the series will determine the World Test Championship finalists, it will be extremely significant for both teams.
Scenario for WTC Final for both teams:
For Australia:
Australia leads the WTC standings. To secure a spot in the WTC final, all they need to do is avoid a 0-4 whitewash, as their path became clear following their 2-0 series win against South Africa.
For India:
India is placed second on the table and can afford to lose just one more Test. If they clinch the series 4-0, 3-0 or even 3-1, they will go through.
Sri Lanka are third, followed by South Africa at fourth, and Sri Lanka’s outcomes are likely to have an impact on the finalists too.
