Yeah I didn't get why we needed to have the Ashes in this prediction as its not part of WTC 21-23?


Also, why is it that we seem to play teams who have already been in England and played a series in WTC finals in ****ing England every time?

Someone decided to work out how Pakistan can qualify for the WTC Final.

How Babar Azam-led Pakistan can still qualify for World Test Championship final despite humiliating whitewash by England

The successive losses saw Pakistan fall from a position of stronghold in the World Test Championship points table to the seventh spot. But it seems, Pakistan still have hope alive, with a very slender chance.

WI need to win Test series in SA ?

 

[Burgey]

WI need to win Test series in SA ?

That’s actually not as ridiculous as it seems if SA keeps their current batting line up

 

[Fuller Pilch]

WI need to win Test series in SA ?

No less crazy than SA losing to the Netherlands at the World T20.

 

[Sunil1z]

No less crazy than SA losing to the Netherlands at the World T20.

Winning a T20 game is much easier as compared to winning a Test series ?
