Along with losing the Border Gavaskar Trophy, Team India's aspirations of playing in the final of the World Test Championship for the third consecutive time were also dashed. Australia became the second team to qualify for the final of the World Test Championship by winning the series 3-1. But, the appearance of the WTC finalists can still change. It is possible that where Australia is visible, Sri Lanka can reach there. You might be wondering how this will happen? So this is possible through a miraculous possibility in cricket, a game of uncertainties.

Status of WTC points table after Border-Gavaskar Trophy

After the end of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Australia's percentage points in the WTC points table is 63.67. And it is second after South Africa. Now Team India is out. No one from Pakistan, West Indies or Sri Lanka can surpass him. Even if Sri Lanka wins the two-match home test against Australia by 2-0, Australia's point percentage will still drop to 57.02. This means that the percentage of 53.85 that Sri Lanka will achieve after victory will also be less.

How will Australia be out even after qualifying?

Now the question is what is the way? Sri Lanka's chances of playing the WTC final by ousting Australia may increase if there seems to be a miraculous possibility with their victory. This means that Sri Lanka won the 2 test series by 2-0. Also pray that Australia should be penalized due to slow over rate in both the test matches. Only when Australia will lose 8 points in the 2nd Test due to slow over rate will Sri Lanka's chances of playing the WTC final in June arise.

It is clear that the possibility of the equation coming true is negligible. But then, nothing is impossible in cricket. However, whether this happens now or not will have to wait for the start of the Test series between Sri Lanka and Australia. At present the reality is that South Africa and Australia are in the finals of the WTC. The final will be held between these two teams in June.
