New Delhi. After the India-Australia third Test ended in a draw, the race for the WTC final has become more interesting. Now there are only two Test matches between the final and India. Their results will largely decide whether India will play the World Test Championship final at Lord's next year or not. Although Australia has 4 matches left, the ongoing Test series with India is important for it. The next Test between these two teams is to be played in Melbourne, which will give an idea of ​​which team is going to the final.

South Africa is leading the race
for the WTC final. It now has to play two test matches against Pakistan. The African team can secure a place in the final by drawing this series. It has to play this series at home. That is why South Africa is also the contender for victory. But if Pakistan makes an upset and defeats South Africa, then India and Australia will be the happiest. If Pakistan wins both the matches, then Africa can also be out of the race for the WTC final.

Melbourne win can leave Australia behind
. Now let's come back to the possibilities of India and Australia. If India wins the Melbourne Test match starting on 26th December, then it will reach 58.33 points in the points table. Due to this, Australia's team (55.21) will go below India in the points table.

If both India and Pakistan win…
If Pakistan defeats South Africa in its first test match and the Indian team defeats Australia, then there will be a great upheaval in the WTC points table. If this happens, India will reach the first position in the points table. South Africa will go to the second position and Australia to the third position.

If India loses in Melbourne then…
If the Indian team loses in Melbourne then its points in the table will become 52.78. Although India can reach the final from here also, but for this it will not only have to win its last test match but will also need the support of other teams. Like if India wins the Sydney test first and then the Sri Lankan team defeats Australia in the series.

If the Melbourne-Sydney Test is drawn…
If the Melbourne-Sydney Test is drawn then Sri Lanka can get direct benefit from it. If this happens then Sri Lanka's team can beat Australia by 20 runs and make it to the finals. But the interesting thing is that if Sri Lanka wins by 1-0 then India can reach the finals.
