IND vs AUS 5th Test: Can A Draw In Sydney Keep India In WTC Final Race?

IND vs AUS: A win for India in IND vs AUS 5th Test in Sydney would not only prevent a series defeat but also ensure they retain IND vs AUS Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

How India can qualify for WTC Final: India and Australia are set for a dramatic finish to IND vs AUS 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Test series. With Australia leading 2-1, the final Test in Sydney carries high stakes.

A win for India in IND vs AUS 5th Test in Sydney would not only prevent a series defeat but also ensure they retain IND vs AUS Border-Gavaskar Trophy and stay in contention for the World Test Championship (WTC) Final.

India in a must-win situation heading into IND vs AUS Sydney Test

A win for India in IND vs AUS 5th Test in Sydney is essential to keep their hopes alive for a spot in World Test Championship (WTC) Final. But what if the Indian cricket team fails to beat Australia at SCG? Australia beating India in Sydney to seal BGT 3-1 would end India's WTC campaign and knock them out of WTC Final contention.

On the other hand, what would be the consequences if IND vs AUS 5th Test match ends in a draw or gets abandoned? Let's find out.

If IND vs AUS SCG Test ends in a draw or is abandoned due to rain, India will be out of contention for the WTC Final. In either scenario, Australia will advance to face South Africa in WTC final.

India, currently third on the World Test Championship (WTC) points table, has no matches remaining in this WTC cycle after IND vs AUS Border-Gavaskar Test series. Australia, ranked second, still has a two-match Test series against Sri Lanka, while South Africa has already secured their spot in the WTC Final.
