This result would directly secure their spot in WTC final, where they would face South Africa.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sri Lanka&#8217;s crucial role<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even with a 2-1 series win, India may need Sri Lanka to lend a helping hand. Sri Lanka must make sure to beat Australia in at least one Test in their upcoming home series. A Sri Lankan win against Australia would ease India&#8217;s qualification path, ensuring they secure enough points to reach the WTC final.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The equation becomes tougher for India if Australia wins<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If Australia wins one of the remaining two matches after a drawn third Test, India&#8217;s hopes of qualification will depend on other teams&#8217; performances:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Pakistan must defeat South Africa<\/strong> <\/em>2-0 in their Test series.<br \/><em><strong>Sri Lanka must sweep Australia<\/strong><\/em> 2-0.<\/p>\n<p>Without these outcomes, India&#8217;s chances of qualifying for WTC final become highly uncertain, as they would rely entirely on luck and an unlikely combination of results.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid relying on external results or weather conditions, India&#8217;s clearest route to WTC final is to win the remaining two Test matches against Australia. A 2-1 Border-Gavaskar series win would eliminate the need for outside help and guarantee India a place in the championship showdown.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.abplive.com\/sports\/cricket\/wtc-final-qualification-what-draw-in-ind-vs-aus-3rd-test-in-gabba-means-for-team-india-1737618\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WTC Final Qualification Scenario For India:\u00a0The third Test of Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is underway at Birsban&#8217;s Gabba, but rain has already disrupted play on the first day.
