World Test Championship India is currently at the top of the points table with a PCT of 68.52 and have 10 Tests remaining (2 vs Bangladesh, 3 vs New Zealand and 5 vs Australia).
If they clinch a 5-0 home series win, then a sixth win will most likely lead Team India to their third consecutive WTC final, with 64 PCT in their rack.
With their recent 3-0 series win against West Indies, they have a chance to make it to the WTC final. For that, they must win all of their upcoming 9 Tests against Sri Lanka, Pakistan and New Zealand.
The Aussies are right after India in the WTC points table. They can make it to the WTC final with 4/7 Test wins from their fixtures against India and Sri Lanka, as their PCT will be in 60s then.
South Africa can make it to the WTC final with 7/8 Test wins from their fixtures against West Indies, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan as their PCT will be around 66 then.
With their 2-0 series loss against Australia, they now have to win 6/8 of their remaining fixtures against Sri Lanka, India and England to reach the WTC final.
They must win 6/9 of their remaining away fixtures against England and South Africa, and home fixtures vs New Zealand and Australia to reach the WTC final.
With their 3-0 series loss vs Australia, they now have to win 7/9 of their remaining fixtures against SA, Bangladesh, WI and England to reach the WTC final.
They might have a shot at making it to the WTC final if they win 7/8 Tests from among their fixtures against India, Pakistan, West Indies, and South Africa.
