NEW DELHI: While the prospect of an India vs Pakistan World Test Championship (WTC) final remains theoretically possible, recent results have made it a near-impossible scenario. Pakistan's historic defeat to Bangladesh in Rawalpindi has further diminished their already slim chances of reaching the WTC final. With India among the favorites to make it to the final again, a match-up between the two rivals would have been a blockbuster. However, Pakistan's road to the final now looks more challenging than ever.
Pakistan currently sit in the eighth position on the WTC points table, with just two wins in six matches and a winning percentage of 30.56. This significant decline in form, especially in red-ball cricket, has left them with a steep mountain to climb if they hope to reach the WTC final.
