What Test Results And PCT Does India Need To Reach WTC Final?

• India needs to win the series against Australia by 4-0 to seal its spot in the WTC final

What Are India’s Chances Of Playing In the WTC Final?

A 4-0 win over Australia will increase India’s PCT to 68.06% and seal its place in the WTC final irrespective of the score of other contenders. Winning the series with 3-0 or 3-1 will lower India’s PCT to 62.50% but it can reach the final without any competition. If India wins the series with 1-0 or 2-0, its PCT will be 60.25% but sufficient to book a spot in the final.
