The third Test series between India and New Zealand begins today. The first match will be played at 9:30 am at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The series was important for both teams heading into the World Test Championship (WTC) final, but inclement weather in Bengaluru added problems for both teams.
If the Indian team wins the Test series 3-0, then the team will be sure to enter the WTC finals. However, if the first Test ends in a draw due to rain, India will have to win another Test in Australia. This can be difficult for the team.
The complete math of WTC in the story…
India tops World Trade Center rankings India continued to top the World Test Championship (WTC) standings after beating Bangladesh 2-0 at home in the Test series. The team did not lose any Test series in the 2023 WTC cycle. India lost 1-1 to South Africa and England respectively, while one match against West Indies was rained out and ended in a draw. Apart from this, the Indian team won all 8 matches.
If we win 3-0, India will continue to lead Judging from the performance of the Indian team at home, it seems difficult for the New Zealand team to draw a tie in the series. However, it seems difficult to complete the first Test given the rains in Bengaluru. India must score 60% more points to qualify for the WTC finals. Do you know what impact the series result will have on India’s points tally?
- 3-0 win: India will score 79.76% and New Zealand will score 27.27%.
- 2-0 win: India will get 75% marks and New Zealand will get 30.30% marks.
- 2-1 win: India will get 72.62% and New Zealand will get 36.36%.
- 1-0 win: India will get 70.23% and New Zealand will get 33.33%.
- 1-1 draw: India will get 67.86% and New Zealand will get 39.39%.
- 0-0 draw: India will get 65.48% and New Zealand will get 36.36%.
India’s last series against Australia After the New Zealand team, the Indian team has to play a tough series of 5 Tests in Australia. India did win the last two Tests but the captains were Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane. Now, Rahane is no longer part of the team and Kohli has also left the captaincy. Rohit Sharma, on the other hand, has not won any Test series in SENA countries so far. Under such circumstances, it seems difficult for India to win in Australia now.
New Zealand ranks sixth New Zealand defeated India in the 2021 WTO finals to win the championship and is currently ranked sixth in the standings. The team has lost its last two Test matches to Australia and Sri Lanka. The team only defeated South Africa 2-0 in the series. The team also drew 1-1 in the 2-Test series in Bangladesh. New Zealand now face a huge challenge in the three-Test series at home in India.
If New Zealand loses to India 2-0, it will be difficult for them to reach the WTC finals. The team will once again have a series with England, and even if they win 3-0 here, the team will not be able to enter the WTC finals. Do you know what impact the series result will have on New Zealand’s points tally?
- 3-0 win: New Zealand will score 54.55% and India 58.33%.
- 2-0 win: New Zealand will receive 45.45% and India 60.71%.
- 2-1 win: New Zealand will receive 42.42% and India 65.48%.
- 1-0 win: New Zealand will receive 39.39% and India 63.10%.
- 1-1 draw: New Zealand will receive 28.57% and India 67.86%.
- 0-0 draw: New Zealand will receive 36.36% and India 65.48%.

The second match will be played in Pune on October 24. The third match will be played in Mumbai from November 1. The last time these two teams met was in 2021, when India won 1-0.
