Team India qualifies for World Test Championship (WTC) Finals 2023.

India
qualified for the finals of the World Test Championship (WTC) and will face
Australia.
Their
presence in the final was confirmed after New Zealand’s win against Sri Lanka
in Christchurch, by two wickets.
The
spot for WTC final was still up for grabs with India and Sri Lanka both having
a shot at it. Australia had already qualified when they defeated India in the
3rd Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
Kane
Williamson hit an unbeaten 121 and Daryl Mitchell scored an 86-ball 81, to help
New Zealand pull off a win in the very last ball of the game. The result put
Sri Lanka out of the reckoning for the WTC final.
Even
if Sri Lanka wins the next Test they will end up at 52.78 PCT while India has
58.80 PCT.
Australia,
the first team to qualify has 64.91 pct.
In
the current WTC cycle, Australia have been stellar with a
11-3 win-loss record so far, with series wins
against England, West Indies and South Africa (home), and Pakistan (away). They
also drew in Sri Lanka (1-1), with the only series defeat coming in India
(assuming a draw or a defeat in Ahmedabad).
India
have a 10-5 record in this cycle, with series wins
against New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Australia (assuming they win or draw in
Ahmedabad) at home, and Bangladesh away. They drew 2-2 in England, and lost 2-1
in South Africa.
The
WTC title contest will take place at The Oval in London from June 7.
