Australia secure World Test Championship final berth, but a slim chance of elimination remains

Hindustan Times  

Sydney, : Australia booked their place in the World Test Championship final with a commanding six-wicket victory over India in Sydney, clinching the five-match series 3-1 on Sunday. Australia secure World Test Championship final berth, but a slim chance of elimination remains The win marked Australia's first Test series triumph over India since 2014-15 and cemented their spot in the final at Lord's in June, where they are set to face South Africa, as per Wisden. Even in the best-case scenario for Sri Lanka, a 2-0 series win over Australia would only push their points percentage to 53.85, while Australia's would drop to 57.02 still sufficient to hold onto their spot. If Australia were to incur an eight-point deduction across the two remaining matches and Sri Lanka swept the series 2-0, the Lankans would overtake Australia to claim the spot in the WTC final.
