WTCs: Pakistan's disappointing performance continues in the World Test Championship 2023-25 ​​and now their dream of playing the WTC final may be shattered. The Pakistani team has not been able to reach the final even in the two editions played so far.

So India has played the final match of both the editions so far and it is almost certain that Team India will reach the final for the third time. India's neighbouring country Pakistan had hoped that they could reach the final this time but now it is not going to happen.

Pakistan may be out of the race for WTC final

Actually, the Pakistani team is currently playing a Test series against Bangladesh (PAK vs BAN). Pakistan had to face defeat against Bangladesh in the first match of this two-match series. This was the first time that the Bangladeshi team defeated Pakistan in the Test format.

So in the second test match also the condition of the Pakistani team seems to be bad and they are almost on the verge of defeat. In such a situation, if they are not able to win the second test match then they will not get a single point and in such a situation they can be out.

Pakistan is at 8th place in the points table

If we look at the points table of World Test Championship 2023-25, then the Pakistani team is at the 8th position in this table. This team has played a total of 6 matches in this edition so far, out of which they have won 2, while they have faced defeat in 4 matches.

In this table, only the West Indies team is below Pakistan. If we look at the position of India, then Team India is on the first position and their reaching the final is almost certain. Apart from this, even if the Pakistani team wins all its remaining matches, it is almost impossible for them to reach the WTC final.

Pakistan has to face England and South

If we look at the future schedule of the Pakistani team, they have to play Test series against strong teams like England and South Africa. In such a situation, it seems very difficult for them to reach the World Test Championship.

The English team is going to tour Pakistan in October this year, where a 3 match test series is to be played between the two teams. On their last tour of Pakistan, England defeated them 3-0 in the test series. On the other hand, the Pakistani team will tour South Africa in December and will play a two match test series.
