After the Gabba Test, the race for Team India to secure a spot in the WTC Final 2025 has become clearer but more challenging. A single misstep could give Australia the upper hand. Here’s what Team India must do to keep their WTC Final dream alive.
The Gabba Test between India and Australia ended in a dramatic draw, thanks to bad light and rain on the final day. This result has altered the points table for the World Test Championship (2023-25) and brought fresh equations for Team India’s qualification hopes. Let’s dive into the key scenarios.

Updated WTC Standings
• South Africa leads the table with 63.33% points.
• Australia retains the second spot with 58.89% points.
• India holds third place with 55.88% points.
India’s Path to the WTC Final
To qualify directly, Team India must win both remaining Tests in the series. This would push their percentage points to 60.52%, ensuring their place in the final and eliminating Australia from contention. However, if South Africa secures even one win against Pakistan, they will face India in the final.
Alternative Scenarios
If India wins only one of the two remaining matches and the other ends in a draw, they will need Sri Lanka to defeat Australia in their upcoming two-match series. Any Australian victory in that series would knock India out of the final contention.
Will Team India rise to the challenge and secure their spot, or will the permutations favor their rivals? The coming matches hold all the answers.
