Can India Still Make It To World Test Championship Finals? Check Full Scenarios Here

After a huge win by an innings and 12 runs against England in the first test at Lord's, South Africa have maintained their spot on the top of the World Test Championship points table. South Africa has won 6 out of 8 matches in this cycle and has a winning percentage of 75%. While Australia is still placed second with a PCT of 70%. 

Sri Lanka is placed third with a PCT of 53.33 while team India is just behind in the 4th spot with a PCT of 52.08.

With South Africa's win, India has suffered regarding their chance of reaching the World Test Championship final. India is yet to play 6 more tests in this cycle, and if they manage to win all these matches, their PCT will reach 68.05. While South Africa is yet to play 7 tests, out of which 2 tests are against England in the ongoing series. If South Africa manage to win all their remaining tests, their PCT will  read 86.66 and if they manage to win 5 matches their PCT will read 73.33, which will keep them ahead of team India. 

The second-placed Australian team has 9 tests remaining. If Australia registers a win in all of these matches their PCT will reach 84.21. Even if they manage to win 6 matches their PCT will be 68.42 which will keep them ahead of team India. 

Sri Lanka has four more tests left to play and if Sri Lanka wins all 4 matches their PCT will be 66.66 which will still be less than India's maximum possible PCT of 68.05. 

Team India will play a four-test match series against Australia at the end of the year. While Australia and South Africa will play a three-match test series against each other, which will be very crucial for team India.
