Although India and Australia are engaged in a Test series at the moment, all eyes are on which two teams will square off in the final of the World Test Championship next year. The equation is becoming such that no one can say with any certainty who will be the two teams in the final. Although just a few days ago Australia were considered top contenders, South Africa have made a comeback and are now in first place. Not only that, but his entry into the finals seems to be a sure thing. Now let me tell you something interesting. Is it also possible that after the 2024 T20 World Cup, India and South Africa will play the final match again in the ICC final? Yes, it’s possible, let us tell you its equation.
The South African team ranks first in the standings and completes the task with one victory
If we look at the World Test standings at this time, we see that South Africa is at the top of the table. After defeating Sri Lanka in two consecutive games, the team performed well and occupied the first position. The team’s PCT currently runs at 63.330. South Africa still have two more Test matches to play against Pakistan. As long as the team wins one of these two games, it can be sure to advance to the finals. With the way Pakistan is currently playing, it looks like Pakistan will not be able to beat South Africa at home. Under such circumstances, the South African team will never let go of the excellent opportunity to advance to the finals.
If the Indian team wins all three games, the final will be decided.
Now if we talk about the Indian team, even though the current series score against Australia is 1.1, if the Indian team wins all the remaining matches, i.e. the next three games, then the Indian team will also be guaranteed to reach the final. Just do it. This means that the Australian team will once again miss the finals. If India wins the remaining three Tests, Australia may beat Sri Lanka in the two home games but fail to reach the final. Overall, the current situation is that India, South Africa, Australia and Sri Lanka are strong contenders to advance to the finals, and the team with better performance in the remaining games will win.
India and South Africa face off in the 2024 T20 World Cup final.
Although the WTC final will be held next year i.e. in 2025, the ICC final between India and South Africa has already been held in 2024. The 2024 T20 World Cup final is between India and South Africa. In a thrilling match, India won the last match to win the championship. Who knows, next year the ICC final will be played again between these two teams. However, we will definitely have to wait a few days for this.
