There are 3 collection left — India-Australia (4 suits), New Zealand-Sri Lanka (2 suits) and West Indies-South Africa (2 suits) — within the ongoing WTC cycles. TOI takes a take a look at the imaginable eventualities…
ARE AUSTRALIA THROUGH?
Not but. But they have got 75.56% issues, just about 17 share issues greater than second-placed India. The most effective situation through which Australia fail to see enjoying the general is that if they lose all their 4 Tests in India and Sri Lanka organize to win each their Tests in New Zealand. Both results are slightly not likely. Hypothetically, Australia dropping 0-4 to India would see their share drop to 59.65 and a sequence sweep in New Zealand would take the Lankans to 61.11.
HOW ARE INDIA PLACED?
If India beat Australia 4-0, 3-0 or 3-1, they’re thru to the WTC Final. If the collection ends 2-2 and Sri Lanka beat New Zealand 2-0, then India shall be out of the race for the general. South Africa too can disappointed India’s applecart in the event that they win 2-0 towards West Indies at house, and India draw 1-1 towards the Aussies within the upcoming collection.
SRI LANKA HAVE OUTSIDE CHANCE
Sri Lanka want to win their ultimate two away suits towards New Zealand after which hope that both India beat Australia 4-0 or India lose the collection or the collection results in a draw. If Sri Lanka draw the NZ collection 1-1, India need to lose to Australia 1-3 or 0-1 and likewise hope South Africa win only one Test towards the West Indies.
WHAT ABOUT SOUTH AFRICA?
They will want to win each their Tests towards West Indies after which hope Sri Lanka lose each Tests in New Zealand or win only one. The Proteas will even want India to get lower than 20 issues from the Australia collection, because of this a 1-1 draw or a sequence loss for India.
ANY OTHER TEAMS IN THE RUNNING?
England, West Indies, Pakistan, New Zealand and Bangladesh are the opposite groups within the fray however they are too a ways at the back of to make a significant affect.
