India's Must-Win Series
India have ceded significant ground and now require a big win when they face Australia in the upcoming series. To stay in contention, India need to win by a margin of 5-0 or 4-0 in Australia and get their PCT above 65%.
Teams Still in Contention
Several teams remain in the running for a spot in the final, with many series left to be played.
- South Africa: Can guarantee a spot in the final with four wins in their remaining series at home against England.
- New Zealand: Can still lose out even if they win their remaining series against England 3-0.
- Australia: Can defend their title with at least five wins from their seven remaining games.
- Sri Lanka: Can finish with a high PCT to stay in contention, but will need other teams to drop points.
