Explained: How India can qualify for WTC Final after IND vs AUS 3rd Test in Gabba

India's chances to qualify for WTC Final heavily rely on IND vs AUS 4th Test in Melbourne and IND vs AUS fifth and final Test in Sydney. India will remain in contention for WTC final if they beat Australia in last two remaining Tests.

Win both Tests (4th and 5th): India's PCT will rise to 60.52%, ensuring outright qualification.

Win one, draw one: India's PCT will increase to 57.01%, but they will need Sri Lanka to hold Australia.

Win one, lose one: India's fate will depend on Sri Lanka sweeping Australia 2-0 in home Test series.

Australia faces a tough away series against Sri Lanka, and a 2-0 win there would secure their spot in the final. India's hopes are boosted if Australia falters in Sri Lanka. To stay in the race for the WTC final, India must win at least one of the final two Tests and avoid defeat in the other.
