Δείτε πώς θα μοιάζει ο πίνακας του Παγκόσμιου Πρωταθλήματος Δοκιμών 2023-25 (WTC) εάν η Ινδία χάσει το 2ο τεστ IND εναντίον AUS BGT.
The ongoing second BGT Test match in Adelaide has become a critical moment for India’s World Test Championship (WTC) hopes. After their spectacular victory in Perth, the Indian team now faces a challenging situation with Australia holding a massive advantage ahead of Day 3 of 2nd IND vs AUS Test. But what if India losses this game? How would it affect the WTC points table 2023-25?
WTC points table: India to fall from 1st to 3rd
The Rohit Sharma-led side was taken to cleaners by Travis Head, who whallopped 140 runs in the first innings. India, on the other hand, had a collapse in their second innings. Currently, Rishabh Pant and Nitish Kumar Reddy are batting, with India trailing by 29 runs. Unfortunately, the visitors have only 5 wickets in hand. If India loses this match, their path to the WTC Final becomes dramatically complicated. The current WTC top-rankers would fall from grace and will be third on the WTC points table.

WTC Final qualification scenario if Rohit Sharma’s side lose IND vs AUS 2nd Test
Before the Adelaide Test, India led the WTC points table with a 61.11% win percentage. South Africa held the second position with 59.26%, while Australia was third with 57.69%.
Potential Scenario after a loss
A loss would trigger these key changes:
- Australia would climb to the top of the table with a 60.71% win percentage
- South Africa would remain in second place at 59.26%
- India would drop to third place with 57.29%
Qualification Challenges
To reach the WTC Final, India would now face a steep challenge:
- Must win all remaining 3 matches; if not, at least 2
- Ideally, it needs to win the series 4-0 or 5-0; that cannot be the case now
- A 4-1 or 3-0 series result would not guarantee qualification
- Hope South Africa win all their remaining games
