WTC Final Possibilities

[Athlai]

Shamelessly stolen from Bahnz for the likes, but it also needs its own thread.

Permutations for WTC

Aus v India ends 1-1
Aus needs a 2-1 win v SA
Ind needs a 3-0 win v England

Aus v India ends 2-1
Aus needs a series win v SA by any margin
Ind needs a 4-0 win v England

Aus v India ends 1-2
Aus needs a 2-0 win v SA
Ind needs a 2-0 win v Eng

If the India v England series were to be covid-cancelled, India needs the 1-2 scoreline v Aus to make the final. If the SA v Aus series is cancelled, Australia will need at least a 1-1 draw with India to advance.

@Bahnz can you post something in this thread so we can all like it and deprive Athlai of likes?

I think there are more permutations than that as both Australia and India could get below our "total" and one of them would still make it

Yes.

Yes you're right. For example India could lose 2-1 to Australia and only beat England 3-0 and still advance if South Africa hold Australia to a 1-1 draw. The post above was just for how teams could advance ahead of NZ.

Yea I guess those are the ways for those teams to secure their advancement, rather than relying on the other of the two to also not meet that requirement

As we are the protagonists your post covers everything we need to know tbf.

2 Boeing 767s also a distinct possibility for the WTC

I know it is unlikely but what do England need to do in India if they beat Sri Lanka 2-0?

Even by OS's standards that's dark.

3-0 win

3-0 win

Just need to find and hire whichever witchdoctor Australia have been using to hex the entire Indian bowling line up in their series. And, err, really hope they can hex the Indian batting line up too.
