The race for the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 Final is heating up as five teams remain in contention. India currently leads the points table with a percentage of 62.82, but their recent losses to New Zealand have injected uncertainty into the qualification scenario.
India needs at least four wins from their remaining six matches to secure a spot in the final. Their maximum possible points percentage stands at 74.56.
Australia, currently in second place with a percentage of 62.50, can potentially top the table if they win all their remaining matches, reaching a maximum percentage of 76.32. Their upcoming schedule includes the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India and two tests against Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka, who recently defeated New Zealand 2-0, are breathing down the necks of the top two with a current percentage of 55.56. They have a maximum potential of 69.23, relying on their upcoming series against South Africa and Australia.
New Zealand, the inaugural WTC winners, are also in the mix, hoping to reach a maximum percentage of 64.29. Their recent wins against India have boosted their chances.
South Africa, however, faces a steep uphill battle. They need to win all their remaining matches and rely on the results of other teams to make the final.
The WTC 2025 Final promises an intense battle as these five teams fight for the ultimate test cricket title. Stay tuned for updates and follow the competition as the race unfolds.
