Race For WTC 2025 Final: Australia, India, and Sri Lanka’s Scenarios: South Africa is now officially in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 Final after their magnificent run. This would mean that the final spot at Lord’s will be contested by three more countries: Australia, India, and Sri Lanka. Here’s what each side has to do to get an entry into the final:
Australia’s Way to the WTC 2025 Final
Second, on the WTC table, Australia has a clear edge here. The only one of these three remaining matches they need to win is the one against Sri Lanka, after this Sydney Test against India.
Failing to win in Sydney means Australia has to win a Test in Sri Lanka to maintain a high points percentage. The rating currently stands at a most impressive 61.76% PCT that their Adelaide victory guarantees.
Challenging Road Ahead For India In 2025 WTC Final
India, now sitting third on the points table with a 52.78% PCT, has a much narrower pathway. To remain alive in the race, India must win the Sydney Test against Australia. After this, India will depend on Australia failing to win either of their two Tests in Sri Lanka. This combination will give India a fighting chance to climb into the top two spots in the standings.

Sri Lanka’s Slight Hope
Sri Lanka is fourth on the points table with a 45.45% PCT. The Sydney Test must produce a tie between India and Australia. Thereafter, Sri Lanka must knock Australia out 2-0 at home. That could get them high enough in the percentage points to challenge the final position.
Final Test and High Stakes
These matches are destined to be determiners of the line-up for the WTC 2025 final. Australia stands tall on the pole, while India and Sri Lanka have got to show magic fully along with a litany of helpful returns from other teams. The whole cricketing world waits with bated breath to watch how these contests unfold and who will face off with South Africa at Lord’s.
