England and India are playing best mate game, both changed their position after 1st test. Australia will watch every match of this series. Their WTC finals dreams depends on it.
Australia is not touring South Africa and with that situation how can they qualify if India win the series after loosing the first game, they will automatically qualify and if England wins the series they will qualify, does Australia have a remote possibility to play the WTC finals with these circumstances, New Zealand is one team and the winner of India and England will automatically qualify as far as i understand.
Still AUS can qualify because points will be awarded for called off series. Here is the equation for AUS to enter WTC finals along with NZ.
[quote authro=https://www.cricket.com.au/news/australia-world-test-championship-qualification-scenarios-explained-nz-india-england/2021-02-03]]Put simply, Australia can make the final if any of the following seven results in the four-Test India v England series eventuate:
• India win by 1-0
• England win by 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1
• The series ends in a draw (0-0, 1-1 or 2-2)
Any other result will see one of England or India through to the WTC final against New Zealand, [/quote]
