Delhi: The third match of the Test series between India and Australia was drawn. On the last day, both teams were trying their best to win, but bad weather dashed all hopes. The Indian team had batted only two overs in the second innings when rain came. Due to heavy rain the match had to be declared a draw.

Now the question arises that what effect has this draw had on the points table of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC). What is the situation especially in India and Australia? Come, let us know the whole situation –

The biggest benefit of this draw has been given to South Africa, which remains at the first position in the WTC points table. The PCT (points percentage) of the African team is currently 63.33, while Australia is in second place with 60.71 PCT. At the same time, India's winning percentage is 57.29 and it is in third place. However, Team India has every possibility of reaching the final. The upcoming two test matches will be very important in this direction, which will decide the place in the final between India and Australia.

Three teams still in the race for the final: South Africa, Australia and India are still the three teams in the race for the finals.

• South Africa: If the South African team wins even one match in the two-match home Test series against Pakistan, then it will secure a place in the final.

• India: The remaining two matches against Australia are very important for India and in such a situation they will have to win these matches at any cost. Also, we will have to depend on the performance and results of other teams.

• Australia: After playing the remaining two matches against India, Australia will play two Tests against Sri Lanka on their soil, which will prove to be decisive for them. If Australia loses all its consecutive matches (4) against India and Sri Lanka, then it will be difficult for them to make it to the finals and possibly Team India will get the ticket for the finals. In this way, the final of the ICC World Test Championship 2025 can be played between India and South Africa.

It is noteworthy that the race for the WTC finals has become exciting, and the further matches will decide which of these three teams will reach the finals.
