An exciting year in terms of cricket is awaiting the Indian team, who are currently in Australia, playing the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024. This series has been nothing less than heartbreak for the Indian fans as the hosts lead the series 2-1. Rohit Sharma-led Indian team have lost their rhythm and the intent to win a game in Australia.
While Jasprit Bumrah carried the team's hopes, India were crushed by 184 runs in the fourth Test match. In the second innings, the game was under control until Nathan Lyon and Scott Boland formed a 10th-wicket partnership of 55 runs in 110 balls. This led to a higher target than expected, resulting in the team's defeat.
After the defeat in this game, India have jeopardized their chances of qualification for the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 finals. The visitors have just one game in their hands. If they lose the game in SCG, they'll be out of the WTC race.
However, if India win the game, their fate will depend upon Sri Lanka to beat Australia in the 2-match Test series. South Africa is the only team that has qualified for the WTC finals, scheduled to take place at the Lord's. This is the first time South Africa will play in the WTC Finals.
