India had all the reason to cheer after the Men in Blue qualified for the prestigious World Test Championship (WTC) final on Monday as New Zealand defeated Sri Lanka by two wickets in a last-ball thriller. India will, therefore, take on familiar foes Australia in the WTC final at The Oval from June 7. Interestingly, this is the second time India gained an entry into the WTC final, with the previous one coming in the inaugural cycle in 2021, which they ultimately lost to the Kiwis.
Sri Lanka lost its first Test against a power-packed New Zealand by two wickets, which in turn propelled India through with its points percentage (PCT) advantage. The Aussies became the first team to secure their WTC final berth after defeating India by nine wickets in the third Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar series held in Indore.
