Although India will have to struggle hard to play the final match. There is no difference in marks between India and Africa. Apart from this, Sri Lanka is at number four with 53.33 percent. England is fifth with 46.97 percent and West Indies is sixth with 40.91 percent.
At the same time, India has to maintain the hope of reaching the final of the World Test Championship. So in the next 2023 Test series against Australia will have to be defeated by a big margin. Means Team India defeats Kangaroo by 4-0. So she can easily reach the finals. At the same time, it will be impossible for the African team to reach the final. But if India loses the series at the hands of Australia, then the road to the final match of Team India will be difficult. Because there is not much difference in points between India and South Africa. Both the teams will have to win all their remaining test matches to reach the final. Team India will have to depend on the result of South Africa and Australia match. Apart from this, India will have to depend on the results of Sri Lanka’s Test match.
Significantly, in the World Test Championship, the competition is between the top 2 teams. Last time the final match was played between India and New Zealand. But the Kiwi team defeated India and won the title of World Test Championship.
