Preview
With their backs against the wall, Rohit Sharma and his men are set to face a crucial third and final Test match against New Zealand in a must-win showdown on November 1 at the iconic Wankhede Cricket Stadium in Mumbai. Notably, Team India find themselves in a tricky and challenging spot after losing the first and second Test matches against Tom Latham and Co. on home soil. This crushing defeat of the home team has severely impacted their chances of making it to the World Test Championship Final. Team India must win all six remaining Test matches in this cycle to grab the top spot in the standings. However, if the team suffers losses any more in the rest of the matches, the men's side will need other teams vying for the top two spots to falter.
Meanwhile, the home team will be desperate to mark their turnaround in the third and final Test match against inaugural World Test Championship winners, slated to take place on November 1 at iconic Wankhede Cricket Stadium in Mumbai. The Indian batting line-up has failed to meet expectations in the last two Test matches. On the flip side of the coin, the Tom Latham-led Kiwis have climbed to the fourth spot after beating the Indian cricket team in the first two matches. The side needs to win their remaining four Test matches to secure a berth in the final showdown of the 2025 World Test Championship.
After two hard-fought losses to the New Zealand cricket team, Rohit Sharma and Co.'s path to the third straight WTC Final has grown steeper, though Team India still places at the top spot with a narrow edge over Australia, their place in the final spot is anything but secure. To solidify a top-two finish and make it to the 2025 WTC Final, the home team needs to win the final Test match in Mumbai and later achieve a series win over Australia in the forthcoming historic Border-Gavaskar Trophy showdown. With a lot at stake, these two strong Test teams hope to bring out their best game for the series finale at the iconic Wankhede Cricket Stadium in Mumbai, commencing on November 1, Friday.
