WTC Points Table: Will the defeat of Edgbaston make the road to Team India’s final difficult? Know how much has changed in the points table

New Delhi. The fifth and final Test of last year’s Test series between India and England was played at Edgbaston. In this match, thanks to the century innings of Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow, England achieved the big target of 378 runs by losing 3 wickets. With this win, England leveled the Test series with India 2-2. With this one defeat, India’s position in the World Test Champion’s points table has weakened slightly. India had a better chance of improving their percentage points in the World Test Championship by winning this Test. But, due to this defeat, Team India lost that opportunity. However, still India’s way to reach the final is not very difficult.

India has played 4 series so far in the second round of WTC. Out of this, 2 have lived at home and 2 on foreign soil. With 6 wins, 4 losses and 2 draws, India’s percentage off points is 53.47. India is on the third position in the points table. Below that is Pakistan. His percentage off point is 52.38. India still has to play 2 test series in the second round of WTC. One of them at home and the other abroad. Team India has to tour Bangladesh. At the same time, next year Australia will visit India. A series of 4 Tests will be played between the two countries. By winning both these series, India can reach the maximum of 68.98 percent off point.

Pakistan can spoil India’s game
Pakistan still has 7 more Tests to play in the second round of WTC. Out of this, he will play 5 Tests against England and New Zealand at home. At the same time, he has to play 2 Tests against Sri Lanka at his home. In such a situation, Pakistan can create trouble for Team India.

Australia’s final claim is the strongest
The Australian team is almost certain to play the final. At present, Australia is at the top of the points table. The Kangaroo team has so far won 6 Tests and drawn three. His percentage off point is 77.78. At present, the Kangaroo team is playing a two-match Test series against Sri Lanka and has won the first match. Now Australia has to play two series at home and one outside. Australia have to play two Tests from West Indies and three Tests from Africa at home. At the same time, Australia has to play a series in India as well.

England won 4 consecutive Tests, yet it is difficult to play the final
Second-placed South Africa’s percentage off point is 71.43. He has played 3 test series till now. Out of this, 2 have been played at home and one abroad. However, now the African team has to go to Australia and England and play 3-3 Tests. Apart from this, he has to face West Indies. In such a situation, the road ahead for D.Africa will not be easy, because it is very difficult to beat Australia and England in their own home. In such a situation, if South Africa’s team loses, then it will go down in the points table.
