India secure WTC final berth after New Zealand beat Sri Lanka in thriller

[ad_1]
Delhi: India on Monday qualified for the prestigious World Test Championship (WTC) final after New Zealand defeated Sri Lanka by two wickets in a thrilling last-ball finish in the Christchurch game.
India will play Australia in the WTC final at The Oval from June 7.
This is India’s second successive entry into the WTC final, with the previous one coming in the inaugural cycle in 2021, where they lost to New Zealand.
With the Dimuth Karunaratne-led side’s only shot at the WTC final berth hinging on a 2-0 victory against the Kiwis in the away series, the loss for the Islanders ended their hopes of securing a spot.
Australia was the first team to secure a WTC final berth after humbling India by nine wickets in the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar series at Indore, leaving the hosts praying for a favourable result in the first Test between New Zealand and Sri Lanka.
The result in Christchurch took the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar series in Ahmedabad out of the equation as earlier India had to win the contest to secure the WTC final spot.
Australia is sitting atop the WTC table with 68.52 percentage points (PCT).
Had Sri Lanka won the Test on Monday and strived for victory in the second match at Wellington, their PCT would have jumped from 53.33 to 61.11 — higher than India’s 60.29 before the start of the fourth Test in Ahmedabad.

In order to take all the scenarios out of the equation, India had to win the Ahmedabad Test — which would have taken their PCT to 62.5 — and retain their second position on the WTC table.
But with New Zealand acing a record chase of 285 runs on Monday, thanks to former captain Kane Williamson’s unbeaten 121, Sri Lanka were left ruing their chances.

India to face Australia in the 2023 World Test Championship Final at The Oval after Sri Lanka lose to New Zealand by 2 wickets

[ad_1]
New Delhi, Mar, 13: With Sri Lanka losing the first Test against New Zealand in the two-match series, Australia and India have been locked in as the 2023 World Test Championship finalists.
On their tour of New Zealand, Sri Lanka had a possibility to pip India and join Australia in the final at The Oval, London starting June 7. This, only if they could have won the series 2-0, and India didn’t win the final Test in Ahmedabad. Two wins in New Zealand would’ve propelled Sri Lanka’s points percentage (PCT) to 61.11. Whereas, if India are unable to win the fourth Test to Australia, their PCT would be 58.79 or lesser depending on the outcome. With the result in Christchurch being a two wicket win for New Zealand, the permutation and combinations have been thrown out of the window.
Chasing 285 on the final day, New Zealand batters approached a win with Kane Williamson scoring a century in the second innings at the Hagley Oval. With eight runs needed off the last over, New Zealand would seal the game on the last ball of the day with two wickets in hand.
While India and Australia are still in action on the final day of the four match Test series, with the hosts leading 2-1, the result in Ahmedabad won’t effect any of their chances now to feature in the 2021/23 Test cycle final this summer.
Australia had sealed off their place in the final after their nine wicket win in the Indore Test last week, with a 68.51 PCT after that last result. The result in Indore had hit India’s PCT in the tally, as it dipped from 64.06 to 60.29. To not be dependent on Sri Lanka for qualifying in the final, India had to win the series 4-0 or 3-1 but the current holders of the ICC Test mace have done them a favor.
For India, it will be a second consecutive qualification in the summit clash, in which they squared off against New Zealand in the 2019/21 cycle, losing by eight wickets to the Black Caps. Australia on the other hand, had missed out on a final spot last time around by a 0.8 point difference to their Trans-Tasman rivals.
