New Zealand qualify for inaugural ICC World Test C'ship final

Dubai, Feb 2 (UNI) New Zealand on Tuesday became the first team to qualify for the final of the inaugural edition of the World Test Championship after Australia postponed their three-match Test series tour of South Africa due to Covid-19 fears.
The final will be held in England from June 18 to 22 with June 23 acting as a reserve day, the ICC said on Tuesday.
New Zealand are currently ranked second on the ICC WTC table with a points percentage of 70 per cent, which has secured them a place in the final. They will be joined by either India, England, or Australia with the second spot being determined by the outcome of the India v England four-match Test series due to start on Friday.
India are currently at the top spot with a PCT of 71.7 per cent, following their 2-1 series triumph in Australia. They will have to win the series against England by 2-1, 2-0, 3-1, 3-0 or 4-0, margin to book their place in final.
For England to qualify and join New Zealand, they will have to win the series against India by 3-1, 3-0 or 4-0 margin.
As a consequence of skipping the three-match Test series, Australia's chances of qualifying for the final of the ICC World Test Championship has received a massive push back.
After their loss to India in Brisbane, Australia sits third on 69.2 per cent of total points contested. They can still qualify for the much-anticipated ICC WTC final if the series between India and England ends up as a drawn series, or if India win the series 1-0 or England win it by 1-0, 2-1 or 2-1 margin.
