4 teams almost out of the race for the World Test Championship final! Someone can make a miracle entry

Pakistan, England And West Indies Cricket Team

World Test Championship Final: A total of two editions of the World Test Championship have taken place so far and the third is being played. New Zealand has won the WTC title once and Australia once. 9 teams are participating in the World Test Championship 2023-25 ​​and are trying hard to reach the final. It seems very difficult for 4 out of 9 teams to reach the finals. These teams are almost out of the race for the finals. In an edition of the World Test Championship, every team has to play a total of 6 series, 3 at home and 3 abroad. There can be two to five test matches in each series.

Ultimately, the two teams present in the top-2 of the points table of 9 teams play the final match of the World Test Championship. If a team’s PCT is above 60, its chances of reaching the finals increase. This time India, Australia, Sri Lanka and South Africa are strong contenders to reach the final. Team India has made it to the finals twice before, but had to face defeat both times.

1. West Indies

West Indies team is currently at the last position in the points table. The team has played a total of 9 matches so far, out of which only one has been won, while 6 have been lost. While its PCT is 18.52. He still has to play four Test matches (two against Bangladesh and two against Pakistan). Even if she is successful in winning the remaining four matches, her PCT will be 43.59, which will not be enough to reach the finals. West Indies’ final hopes are almost over.

2. Pakistan

The Pakistani team has not been able to perform well for some time. The team had to lose the Test series 2-0 against Bangladesh at home. After this there was defeat in the first test against England. Pakistani team is currently at number 8 in the points table. The team played 9 matches, out of which it won 3 and lost 6. Its PCT is 25.93. He still has 5 Test matches left, which he has to play against England (one Test), South Africa (two Tests) and West Indies (two Tests). Now even if the Pakistani team wins all the remaining matches, its PCT will not reach above 60. In this situation, it seems impossible for him to reach the finals.

3. Bangladesh

Bangladesh recently won the Test series against Pakistan 2-0. But after this he had to lose the series against India. It is present at number 7 in the points table, the team has played a total of 8 matches so far, out of which it has won 3 and lost 5. His PCT has been 34.38. Bangladesh still has to play four tests (two against West Indies and two against South Africa). Even if the team is successful in winning all four matches, its PCT will be 56.25. Which will not be such that he can finish in the top-2 of the points table.

4. England

The England team is at fifth position in the points table, the team has played 18 test matches, out of which it has won 9 and lost 8. Its PCT is 43.06. England still has to play four Test matches (one against Pakistan and three against New Zealand). By winning all these matches, the England team can reach only 57.95 PCT, which will be insufficient to reach the final.
