Australia's Chances Really Hinge On The Upcoming Indian Tour, Says Ponting

By IANS News July 29, 2022 • 15:59 PM View: 1028

Australian cricket legend Ricky Ponting believes his side's chances of securing a World Test Championship (WTC) final berth next year will hinge on its showing in the Border-Gavaskar series against India in 2023, adding the rivalry between the two countries "is just growing year on year".

While South Africa (on 71.43 percentage points) are currently ahead in the ICC WTC standings, Australia (70) are not far behind in second place following their recent drawn series against Sri Lanka away from home.
