Indian Cricket Team: The Indian team had to face a shameful defeat by 8 wickets in the first test match against New Zealand. India gave New Zealand a target of 107 runs to win, which was easily achieved by the Kiwi team. In the first innings, the Indian team was all out for just 46 runs and the Indian batsmen were not able to perform well. Team India had to pay the price for this by losing the match. In the second innings, the Indian batsmen tried to make a comeback, but by then it was too late.
Indian team’s PCT reduced
Now after losing the match against New Zealand, the Indian team has suffered a PCT loss in the points table of the World Test Championship. Before the match, the PCT of the Indian team was 74.24, which has now fallen to 68.06. But the Indian team is still at the first position in the points table and the doors to the final of the World Test Championship are open for them. In the current cycle of WTC, Team India has played a total of 12 Test matches so far, out of which it has won 8 and lost 3. Its PCT is 68.06.
Team India has 7 test matches left in WTC 2023-25
The Indian team still has to play two test matches against New Zealand and five against Australia. If Team India wants to dream of reaching the final of the World Test Championship, then it will have to win four of the remaining 7 Test matches at any cost. In such a situation, Team India will have to win two test matches against New Zealand and two against Australia at any cost. If Team India wins four Tests, its PCT will be 64.03, which will be enough to reach the final. Team India’s place in the finals will be confirmed if it wins five out of seven matches. The biggest difficulty is this. Team India has to play the Border-Gavaskar series against Australia on Australian soil.
India made it to the WTC final twice
Before this, two final matches of the World Test Championship have been played. Both times Team India has made it to the finals, but once by New Zealand and once by Australia, its dream of winning the title has been broken. This time too the Indian team is a strong contender for a place in the WTC final.
