pretty sure it's locked in for an Ind vs Aus final again. SA might have an outside chance if they sweep at home but I doubt it.

Aussies are completely dominating at #1 with like 87.5% points. India is down at 6th (48.15%) and basically needs a miracle to make the 2027 final ngl.

The Aussies are just playing on a different difficulty setting lol. 87.5% is actually glitched. They’ve basically booked their hotel in London already.

In the ICC World Test Championship, teams make it to the final based on their points percentage (PCT) rather than just the total points they’ve earned. This means a team can still clinch a spot in the final by winning their remaining matches, even if their competitors stumble with losses or draws.It's important to remember that draws, ties, and penalties for over-rate can also affect the standings. So, even the tiniest shifts in results can completely alter who ends up in the top two and ultimately qualifies for the final.
