New Delhi: All talk of if and but ended regarding the WTC final. Now there is only one fact and that is that India has reached the final of the World Test Championship. Before the Ahmedabad Test, the Sri Lankan team was with India in this race for the WTC final. Sri Lanka had an impossible target of defeating New Zealand. Whitewashed New Zealand at home. What Sri Lanka could never do, the same work was expected from it, which was not completed.
Now the WTC final will be played between India and Australia from June 7 between India and Australia. Australia has made it to the final by being number one in the point table of WTC. He entered the final with a score of 68.52. India remained at number two with 60.29 points.
This is the second time that India will play the final of the World Test Championship. The Indian team also reached the finals in the first season of this tournament. Then he had a title match with New Zealand. New Zealand won the World Test Championship trophy by defeating India.
New Zealand may have deprived India of the title for the first time, but after that, its performance was very poor. The Kiwi team could win only 3 matches in the current season of the World Test Championship and remained at number seven in the points table of 8 teams.
On the other hand, if we talk about India, has won 10 out of its 18 matches. No team has won more matches than India in the entire season of the championship. Australia has won one match less than India. However, he remained number-1 in the points table due to losing 2 matches less than India.
Talking about the WTC final to be held on June 7, this match will be played in England. This will be only the second time in the history of the ICC tournament that the teams of India and Australia will be face to face. Before this only once in 2003 both the teams clashed in the final of the ICC tournament. It was the final of the ODI World Cup, in which Australia easily defeated India. Now in June, India will have a chance to avenge that 2003 defeat.
India will also enter the WTC final as a title contender this time. Because Momentum is with him. India beat Australia at their home a few years back. Rohit Sharma’s team has now defeated Australia 2-1 in the home series. We have the Border Gavaskar trophy and if the Indian team performs according to its status, then the ICC World Test Championship final trophy will also be with us.
