Australia is second in the points table with 62.5%. Whereas, the defending champion New Zealand is third with 50% win percentage. Team India now has to play 10 more Test matches, in which the team can qualify for the final match only by performing well.

How Many Matches Will Be Needed To Win

According to an ICC report, India will have to win at least 7 out of the next 10 Test matches to maintain its winning percentage above 60%. In this, India will play 2 matches against Bangladesh and 3 matches against New Zealand on its home ground. After this, India has to tour Australia, where five Test matches will be played under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The Indian cricket team has won its last two Test series in Australia. This has also increased India’s confidence.

However, India will have to remain in the top-2 to reach the final. In such a situation, if India wins 5 matches and plays 1 draw, then India will still qualify for the final. On the other hand, if India registers 6 wins, then its winning percentage will become 64.03%, which will almost ensure that the team reaches the final.

What Is The Status Of The Other Teams?

Australia is in second place in the World Test Ranking points table with 7 matches left. Australia will have to win 4 matches or win 3 matches and draw 1 match to reach the final. New Zealand is in third place with 8 matches left. New Zealand will need to win 6 matches or win 5 matches and draw 1 match to reach the final.
