South Africa is closing in on a test series win. Sri Lanka is under a ton of pressure considering the huge target while the Proteas look like they might end up winning this one pretty comfortably.

By observing the results of India's second Test, it is easy to guess which two teams are loading in the WTC. We need to compare how much potential India has left after defeating them by 10 wickets and how much potential South Africa has if they win against Sri Lanka.
60.71 points for Australia... Fully confirmed for WTC
59.26 points for South Africa...
57.29 points for India ...

If South Africa loses against Sri Lanka, then the chances of qualifying for the WTC are now a matter of review.

India lost the second Test match to Australia by a huge margin of 10 wickets, As a result, they are far down in the World Test Championship standings. In the standings of the World Test Championship, India is at number three with a total of 110 points. They have played many matches but their PCT is only 57.29. Now the thing to watch is that as India play a few more Test matches against Australia, If they lose to Australia in those Test matches, they could drop further down the World Test Championship rankings.

Most credit goes to Bavuma and Jansen who performed really well throughout this series though I dislike both of them. Looks like Aus vs RSA WTC final loading.

If South Africa lose to Sri Lanka in the second Test match, Sri Lanka might have a great chance to play the Test Championship. Sri Lanka need only 143 runs to win against South Africa today, If the Sri Lankan batsmen can bat with patience today then maybe they will win this match today.

I also have concerns about Indian team chances in third Test match. Indian cricket team current performance is very worrying and it is clear that Indian cricket is in trouble. Team is struggling in all formats and this is hurting respect and competitiveness that Indian cricket used to have. On the other hand Australia big win in second Test has given them a lot of confidence and momentum. It is likely that Australian team will try to use this advantage to their benefit in the next matches.

There seems to be a lot of imbalance in the team. In the batting department, veterans such as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been underperforming for some time now. KL Rahul's form is not getting any better either. It is the younger players, such as Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant who do the heavy lifting nowadays for India. Bowling is also in bad shape. Jasprit Bumrah is as consistent as ever, but he is hardly getting any support from other pacers such as Mohammed Siraj and Harshit Rana.

Congratulations on your confidence. But in my opinion, I don't think the Indian team players will be able to return to form in the third Test match. Because it is clear from the current performance of the Indian cricket team players that Indian cricket is on the verge of destruction. Indian cricket is currently losing respect in all formats, which is a big worry for Indian cricket. Indian cricket always had the ability to compete with big and strong teams. But at present, they have lost that. However, the 10-wicket victory in the second match of the Test series between India and Australia has given a lot of strength to the Australian team players. So, the Australian team players will definitely try to maintain this strength in the next matches.

South Africa vs Sri Lanka; at the end of fourth day play, we have slightly advantage for the home side but still we have good work by the Sri Lanka as they are currently chasing 348 have 205 for 5 Kusal Mendis 39 and Dhananjaya de Silva 39 have good partnership of 83 runs which helps them after double strike by Keshav Maharaj who done good damage to visitors while they were set for good end of this day.

Fifth and last day could be interesting as we had test match situation as ODI both teams can win and lost, but this partnership is important for the Sri Lanka as they needed 143 runs to win this test match and bring themselves on level at the end of these two test matches series after losing first one.

India vs Australia
India played both of its innings bad this time and Australia's one good inning made them win. It looks like a pitch that favors bowling but Australia batsmen specially Travis head played a very confident aggressive cricket scoring good runs in short time rather than trying to defend to save wickets. The game ended in 3 days and would give more time for the players to rest for the next test.
South Africa vs Sri Lanka
It is still hard to call. Sri Lanka needed 348 runs to win and have all the time but they were already 5 wickets down making 122. Dhananjay de Silva and Kushal Mendis have now developed a good partnership which if they saved for today could make them win.

Yep, In 2nd test game india batting first and made only 180 runs excellent bowling by Australian bowlers Mitchell Starc takes aix wickets they destroyed indian batting line up. After brilliant bowling Australian team batting well scored a big total and lead big runs. Indian team could not start second innings well they were losing wickets consistently which created pressure indian player's and they made only 175 runs. Excellent bowling by Aus bowlers they dominated on Indian player's Pat Cummins takes five wickets and Scott Boland took three wickets. Australia achieve the low target in just 4th over of second inning and and three wickets remaining indian bowlers made a fantastic come back after losing first test game. I believe Indian team came back in this 3rd test game.

New-look England looking promising in this series against New Zealand which recently have success in India but here at home against England they are badly down and out of contest after losing first test fans were hoping for their fightback, but we have England in strong position even in winning position after having 533 lead and Joe Root and Ben Stoke still on crease as both can extend their lead which could be all end of the Kiwis because with the current batting performance things are looking not good for them.

England's team has won the second match by 323 runs, this is such a massive victory for them. England's batting is so strong and we saw that in both innings. Harry Brook made 123 in the first innings and 55 in the 2nd innings. He had a wonderful time in this match. Ollie Pope also made 66 in the first innings. We got Joe Root 106 in the 2nd innings and also Jacob Bethell and Ben Duckett playing their part. Overall a solid batting performance by the England team.

I agree with your statement. England team played is best team of the World because their cricket is transparent and all players are picked due to their performance. We saw all players of that team and their body language was perfect and they are super fit and they won this test series. We are watching that they will win next match and they will white wash in this series. That match was totally one handed match because England team players did brilliant effort in second inning and made the match one sided .Joy Root was the person who made century in second inning and many other players gave effort in this match and tried to win this match and they became successful in their effort.Blundell was the player who played well from New Zealand side and no player could play like that player .

South Africa surely have good advantage but as we have Sri Lanka batting in first inning of this test we can expect good resistance because now they are also doing good job in last few matches and their batting had few good quality batsmen which can do good batting in this chase as well.

Currently, we have 75 for 3 which is also favourable for the South Africa but Angelo Mathews and Kamindu Mendis both are well set and trying to keep things on balance on bowling Rabada and Paterson both are also doing their best for having more wickets and bring Sri Lanka under pressure in this epic chase which is going to be interesting on last day of this test match.

Sri Lanka also started well in the first innings. However, Sri Lanka failed to take the lead till the end. The batting of the middle order and lower order batsmen was weak. So at the end of the first innings, Sri Lanka was trailing by 30 runs.

South Africa scored 317 runs in the second innings, and gave a target of 348 runs. If we consider the condition of the pitch, then it can be said that the target of 348 runs is quite big. However, there is a possibility of victory for both the teams. Because the Sri Lankan batsmen were able to play quite well in the first innings on this pitch.

At the end of the fourth day, Sri Lanka managed to score 205 runs by losing 5 wickets. Sri Lankan batsmen still need to score 143 runs to win. In the first innings, we saw that Sri Lanka scored 261 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. And then they quickly lost wickets and towards the end, Sri Lanka scored 317 runs in the first innings. It is not surprising that Sri Lanka faced such a disaster in the second innings as well.

Second test match of India touring to Australia competition was fully completed and finished among them all innings were played. India squad delivered their best ever performance in previous match when no body believe that their squad was did came back strongly but in second test match, their squad were completely unable to do same like previous match and in first inning, their batters 180 scores and in second inning, their batters managed to collect 180 scores just. Virat Kohli and Rohit shamra both were unable to express their best performance and in both innings, these two just collected few scores. Travis Head one of my favourite batter, he completed his century and full supported their squad in first inning and put high burden to Indian bowlers. Mitchell starc picked up 6 wickets in first innings and in second inning, he cleared out 2 wickets. This competition now is balanced with equal number of wins one Indian and one Australian, three more matches remain to play and this competition will going to be interesting ans thrilling and wait for these remaining matches and their outcomes.

The first match was very exciting. I expected the second match to be very competitive as well. But this match was completely one-sided. The match became one-sided due to the poor batting of the Indian batsmen. We saw poor batting of the Indian batsmen in both the innings. In the first innings, India scored only 180 runs and in the second innings, India scored only 175 runs. India was able to give a target of only 19 runs.

India's experienced batsmen did not play well in this match. Batsmen like Rohit Sharma and Kohli in particular also batted badly. Nitish Kumar Reddy batted somewhat well in both the innings. Reddy scored 40+ in both the innings.

I don't see any chance for New Zealand to make a comeback. New Zealand is definitely going to lose this match. We saw New Zealand's defeat in the first match as well. And it can be said for sure that New Zealand is going to lose by a big margin in the second match as well.

It was certain that england will have upper hand on new Zealand in second match of test series because we have seen thier previous innings so things were already clear, anyway if we deeply have a look on scoreboard england have some unlucky innings like some of thier player unfortunately lose thier century by 8 runs and 4 runs also with 1 runs behind stokes didn't complete his half century, but I think they have idea that they can easily do it because after few back to back defeat and batting collapse broke new Zealand confidence. Also they have some recent bad record in test format against SiriLankan so they have several weak zone which they has to work on it. Anyway congratulations to england for another fantastic series victory

Sadly, India lost the second test match. Now again the whole nation will be against Rohit Sharma. They will hate him for the team’s loss. But deep down we know that this is a collective game, and everyone has failed in the batting.

The team India are feeling trouble in the bowling side in the second match but in the first match, the way Jasprit and Muhammad Siraj were taking wickets and they did not feel trouble but now after having a loss in the second game, Rohit Sharma wants Muhammad Shami for the next matches in India test squad.

Rohit Sharma said "The doors are open for Muhammad Shami to join our test squad." This statement clearly meaning that India is missing Muhammad Shami now. Will he come or not, I think he will come for the team. Let's see, wait for the next match ?

Door open for Mohammed Shami to join India for last 2 Tests: Rohit Sharma

I don't think it's going to be easy for the Proteas Sri Lankan are doing good job and have 60 for 2, so things are well-balanced we can expect this as going to be narrow chase for both sides.
Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal well experienced players on crease and doing their best for having good end of this match for their team we have 34 overs remaining in days play and this is going to be important for both sides who will hold advantage this session will be decided about this match.

Australia's dominant performance in second test match, winning by a huge ten wickets Victory over India. Australia bowling performance is outstanding especially Pat Cummins bowling performance is amazing picked five wicket haul in second inning and all out India at 175 runs, 5 runs short from the first inning runs. India only give a lead of 18 runs in the second inning, and Australia chased down a very low target of 19 runs without losing any wickets. The Player of the match goes to Travis Head for playing a extraordinary inning scored 140 runs, just missed his well deserved 150 by 10 runs short but helped the Australia to level the 5 matches series with 1-1.

In the first innings of Australia, I became a fan of Mitchell Starc's bowling. Before this spell, I took him lightly because of the last match and thinking that he will do good bowling but could not did magical bowling spell as he used to do before.
He proved me clearly wrong. But in the first innings, he took 6 wickets and also a little bit of good bowling and pressure bowling by Pat Cummins picked 2 wickets in the first time but when when he got chance to bowl for the second time then took 5 wickets and out all of the Indian batsmen in both innings.

We have well-balanced batting from South Africa in second inning as they were able to score 317 and also give good target of 348 to Sri Lanka for win in this second match and came on level in this series now it's Sri Lankan batting how they will be response because their batting is good but having target like this in fourth inning has never been easy.

Both teams are on good level as both are doing good job in this series South African taking good advantage of home conditions but Sri Lanka always having good spirit also giving them good resistance chase for the win in this test is already started but not good for the Sri Lanka as Rabada take early wicket of Karunaratne which is big below for the Sri Lanka in this chase.

Since they also won the last test match there now they have won the series. Only a single game is left that will be played on 14 December. I think in that match, New Zealand will get a win because England has already won the series and now in the last game, they will give rest to most of the good players.

England may not perform at their full energy which is why betting on New Zealand in the last game can be fruitful. Also, you get attractive odds on the New Zealand team.
