The Road to the ICC World Test Championship Final: How the Gabba Test Draw Boosts India’s Chances
CricketPanditThe draw in the Gabba Test has given the India National Cricket Team a solid opportunity to qualify for the ICC World Test Championship Final. To secure a spot in the final, the team led by Rohit Sharma must win the next two matches in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. Achieving this would guarantee their direct qualification for the final.
If they win only one of the remaining two matches, they will need some help from Sri Lanka. The Indian team would hope for Sri Lanka to win at least one match against Australia, or for the series between those teams to end in a draw.
However, if the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 concludes in a draw, the India National Cricket Team would need Sri Lanka to win the series by a margin of 1-0 or 2-0. The team led by Rohit Sharma cannot afford to lose both matches. If that occurs, they would need Pakistan to achieve a clean sweep against South Africa.
