India were once well-placed to secure a spot in the WTC final after a whitewash against Bangladesh. With eight Test matches remaining, they were almost certain to qualify for the WTC final given their dominance in the format. But what followed was a shock 0-3 series defeat at home at the hands of New Zealand, and then an abysmal showing in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, which the visitors are trailing 1-2. In this article, we shall take a look at the outcome India needs to do to make it to the WTC final.

How Can India Qualify for ICC WTC 2023-25 Final?
There are only two scenarios under which India can qualify for the WTC final. India will qualify for the ICC WTC 2023-25 final if they draw the series 2-2, and depend on Sri Lanka to stop Australia's path. However, India will have to give up on qualifying for the WTC Final in case Australia wins the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 3-1. If India draws level with Australia, Sri Lanka will need to draw one out of the two Tests they have against the touring Australian side next year. On the other hand, a 2-2 draw in BGT 2024-25 will need Sri Lanka to defeat Australia 2-0.
It is to be noted that the IND vs AUS 5th Test in Sydney in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 will be the last for India in the current WTC cycle. Hence Rohit Sharma and co will look to give it their absolute best to make it to the WTC final next year.
