Delhi: If the third Test between India and Australia is drawn, what will be the impact on the final of ICC World Test Championship 2025? We are going to know the answer to this question. Actually, for India to reach the final, it is necessary to win all the remaining matches. Meanwhile, if the third match is drawn, what can be done in the remaining two matches to reach the final round. If the Gabba Test match is drawn, India and Australia will get 4 points each. India’s World Test Championship points will be reduced to 114 points and India’s win percentage will reduce to 55.88 percent, hence India will have to be content with third place in the points table. Australia’s winning percentage will be 58.88 and it will remain in second place. South Africa will remain on top with a winning percentage of 63.33.

If the Gabba Test is a draw, India will have no option but to win the next two matches. If they lose even one match, India’s mathematics for the final round will fail. Team India will have to win the last two matches to reach second place in the points table. Otherwise, it will be difficult for India to reach the top two positions.
At the same time, South Africa’s last two test matches are against Pakistan. Victory in one of these matches will ensure the team’s place in the final of the World Test Championship, but if Team India faces defeat in both the matches, then the mathematics will change. On the other hand, after India, Australia will play a two-match Test series against Sri Lanka. If Sri Lanka wins both the matches then India may have some chance.
However, there is a possibility that the final of the current cycle of the ICC World Test Championship will be between South Africa and Australia. If India has to make it to this stage, they will have to win all their remaining matches and depend on the results of other teams.
