So far, the dominance of the Indian team is visible in the points table of the World Test Championship. The Indian team is at the top position in this ranking. Team India is on top with 71.67 percent marks. For the last few series, the Indian team has been occupying the top position. Whereas Bangladesh team is at sixth position with 39.29 percent marks.

How can India qualify for the WTC final if the second Test is drawn?

India currently top the World Test Championship table with a PCT of 71.67 after 10 matches. The team is in a position to reach its third consecutive final. A 2–0 series win against Bangladesh would have meant that India would have needed only three wins in the remaining eight matches to secure a place in the final, three of which would have been against New Zealand on home soil.

If rain disrupts the second match, India will have to win five of the next eight matches, provided the other top two contenders do not lose any points.

Therefore, India will have to clean sweep New Zealand 3-0 at home and win at least two Tests in the five-match Border-Gavaskar series against Australia. India has won the series in Australia on two previous occasions, but the challenge still remains a daunting one.

In the World Test Championship, the team that wins the test match gets 12 points. If the match is a draw then both the teams get 4 points each. In such a situation, if India wins this match, then the position of the Indian team in the points table will be strengthened with 74.24 points. But if the match is drawn or canceled then the average win of the Indian team will be 68.18 percent. In such a situation, if this match is canceled then Bangladesh will benefit and the tension of the Indian team will increase.
