The World Test Championship (WTC) 2023 Final between India and Australia has reached a crucial stage, but the looming threat of inclement weather raises concerns about the possibility of a washout. In the event that the remaining days of the match, including the reserve day, are unable to be played, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has a provision in place to address such a scenario.
If rain disrupts the play on Day 4, Day 5, and the reserve day, both India and Australia will be declared as joint winners of the ICC World Test Championship 2023. While Australia may have topped the WTC 2021-23 standings, it does not serve as the determining factor for the ICC’s decision. In the absence of a conclusive result due to the weather, the trophy will be shared between the two teams.
Australia currently holds the advantage in the final with a significant second-innings lead of 296 runs. To salvage the match or stage an extraordinary comeback, India will need to exhibit exceptional skills and tactical prowess in the remaining two days of play. The Indian team must strive to perform at their best, aiming to either save the Test match or orchestrate a remarkable turnaround to secure victory.
