India is facing a critical 5-match Test series against Australia, with their hopes of qualifying for the 2024 World Test Championship (WTC) Final on the line. After a tough 0-3 loss to New Zealand, India must now perform exceptionally in this series to secure a third consecutive WTC Final berth. The article outlines the various scenarios under which India can qualify for the final, depending on their performance against Australia and other teams’ results.

A 4-0 or 5-0 series win guarantees qualification, but anything less puts India's fate in the hands of results from other teams. A 3-2 win requires England to beat New Zealand and South Africa to lose two games, while a 2-2 draw becomes even more complicated, with several conditions to meet. Even a 2-1 win has specific requirements from other teams to keep India’s qualification hopes alive.

This article details all possible outcomes for India’s qualification, from a dominant win to the best-case scenario in a tight series. Understanding these scenarios is crucial for Indian fans, as every match now becomes vital for their WTC aspirations.
