After the defeat in the first match of the 4 Test series against England, the road to India's World Test Championship (WTC) has become difficult. The English team reached the top of the WTC points table with this win. At the same time, Team India has slipped to number four.
With this result, Australia's hopes of reaching the final have also increased. Australia's future also rests on the India-England series. If England also win the series 1–0, Australia will play the final with New Zealand. New Zealand's final place was confirmed after the Australian cricket team canceled its tour of South Africa. The final of the championship will be played at Lord's in June this year.
However, the ICC has shared some statistics on how India can still qualify for the World Test Championship. ICC wrote, "Qualification scenarios for the #WTC21 finals:India can still qualify if...India 2-1India 3-1England qualify if...England 3-0England 3-1England 4-0Australia qualify if...England: 1-0, England 2-0, England 2-1, Series Draw 1-1, Series Draw 2-2.
