Along with India and Australia, the test match between Pakistan and South Africa is also going to start from 26th December. Then, apart from its own match, Team India will also keep an eye on the match between Pakistan and South Africa. India will pray for the victory of Pakistan team. Because India’s victory has become necessary to reach the final of the World Test Championship.
There has been a rivalry between the teams of India and Pakistan for a long time. Fans of both the teams cannot see each other winning in any way. But now the Indian fans and Team India face a big compulsion. Therefore they will have to pray for Pakistan’s victory. This is necessary for the final of the World Test Championship. The path to the WTC final seems quite difficult for India at the moment. But if Pakistan team defeats South Africa in the next two tests then the path will become easier.
If the Indian team wants to qualify directly for the WTC final, then it will have to win both the remaining test matches of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. But winning both these matches will not be easy. If Team India loses or draws even a single match, it will be difficult for it to play the final. Therefore Pakistan’s help is needed. Actually, the South African team is leading in the race with 63.33 percent marks. Now South Africa has to play 2 test matches against Pakistan. If he wins even one match in this, his ticket to the final will be confirmed. Now in such a situation there will be pressure on India. Because they have only 2 matches left, whereas Australia still have 4 matches left. If Pakistan team beats South Africa 2-0 then the chances of Indian team playing the final will increase. And that is why the Indian team is forced to pray for Pakistan’s victory.
If the Indian team’s score in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is 2-1. Still, Pakistan team should defeat South Africa at least 1-0. Apart from this, the Australian team defeated Sri Lanka 1-0. If Team India draws the series 2-2, then its percentage points will be 55.26 points. In such a situation, for India to reach the final, Pakistan team will have to win the series against South Africa 2-0. If the India-Australia series ends at 1-1. Then India will have 53.51 percent marks. In such a situation, Pakistan will have to win both the matches against South Africa. But this is not enough. Then help will have to be sought from Sri Lanka also. Sri Lanka is expected to beat Australia 1-0 or draw the series 0-0. If the Indian team loses the series then it will almost be out. Then even Pakistan’s 2-0 win will not help.
