^^^ 5 teams fighting for the qualification for the final. But I think Sri Lanka is the least favored one out of these teams, because most of their remaining matches are in SENA nations and they have historically performed poorly in such conditions. Australia seems to be almost sure to qualify, so the fight maybe between India, New Zealand and South Africa. The picture will be a bit clear in the next 2 months or so, when the Border–Gavaskar Trophy will be completed (this time Australia are the hosts).
Srilanka playing 1 series in SA and 1 at home against Australia so right now it's balanced for them.

IMO, unofficially India are almost out. There is no way we are winning 4 tests in Australia.

Australia seems fav but anything can happen, even a tight series against India could hamper their chances and they have to travel to Sri Lanka as well, Lankans seem to be doing more than okay nowadays.
 

Can't help so doing mental gymnastics for fun.

To India to qualify.

-Srilanka should win 1 test and draw 1 test against SA, this will hurt Protea's chances and then the same thing should repeat when Pak is up against SA.
- England beating New Zealand will also help  Grin
- Australia whitewashing SL and losing against India 1-3.

WTC table update

- Some drastic changes for India and now they need to win 4 matches in the next 6 fixtures. 5 are against Australia, The WTC final seems like a dream now. 
- No changes for Australia
- South Africa is in alright position atm because they won 1 match against Bangladesh.
- Kiwis has entered the WTC final race, given they win their next 4 matches (1 against India + 3 matches at home against England)


WTC table update

Finally, an impossible thing happened. First time in WTC history (5 years) India has slipped into 2nd position and now things are so bad that they are not a firm favorite to play finals, even if they win 4-0 against Australia (Which won't happen). It's fair to say that they are out of the race and the odds are heavily against up like 50-1 and unfortunately depends on other team's results but still have to win against Australia.

Kiwis whitewashing India made the WTC finals competition extremely interesting and the top 5 teams are fighting for 2 seats. Every series and every match is important for all 5 teams.

But after the New Zealand team set a target of 147 runs, perhaps no one thought that India would lose this match. Indian team could not collect only 147 runs. This is really a shame for India. India lost every match in the home series. Indian batsmen should be more diligent. For a long time we have been seeing poor performances from Indian batsmen.
Apart from Pant's 64 runs, the rest of the batsmen would have taken only 83 runs out of 147 runs but if you look at the scoreboard you will understand clearly.
A strong team like India has only eight batsmen out in single digits. What is the probability of a team scoring if 8 batsmen are out in single digits in a test like cricket?
I think after this shameful historic defeat Indian cricket may need accountability of management and players. Despite the presence of legends such as Rahit Sharma and Virat Kohli, Indian cricket lovers cannot accept such a shameful defeat.

Team India batted well in their first innings and finished the first innings ahead of New Zealand and bowled New Zealand out in the second innings with few runs which ensured an easy target for India. But even with such an easy target, India was defeated by 25 runs in the third Test match against New Zealand. Such a good batting line-up but the Whites have lost three out of three Test matches against New Zealand. Indian fans would have forgotten about the first two matches if India could have gifted them a win in the third match but India failed there. The New Zealand team must be congratulated as they came to Indian soil and performed well against India and beat India in three consecutive matches.

India scored 263 runs in the first innings. India managed to take a small lead of 28 runs. But the performance of the Indian batsmen was not good even in the first innings. Only Gill and Pant were able to bat responsibly.

As long as Rishabh pants, India can and should dream of winning.  Rishabh Pant will have to stay on the wicket and be patient enough not to misperform. Make a wrong decision and that wrong decision must pay in defeat. He has stayed on the wicket and if he stays for another 50 runs, he can certainly not be faulted. After five wickets fell for 29 runs, India were disoriented as Rishabh Pant was the only one trying to pull away from the brink of disaster. With the lunch break underway, it is likely that the team's coaches will advise Rishabh Pant and Washington Sundar on how to tackle the next overs keeping the wickets intact.

In the end, the Indian team was defeated in the last match of the series as well. But I will say this result was totally unexpected. I thought at least we will see India win in the last match. But the Indian team failed to win this match too.

The only reason India lost in every match of the series was their poor batting. Washington Sundar and Jadeja bowled well in this match. So the New Zealand team has given a very small target. The Indian team failed to win the target of only 147 runs. India lost all the wickets to collect only 121 runs. I did not expect to see such terrible batting from experienced Indian batsmen.

IMO some heads should roll in top order especially the likes of Kohli and Rohit. Need accountability, which is missing and can't hide behind intent talk.

The likes of Rahane and Puji faced an Axe because of this so called intent.


Edit: Kiwis have scripted history by whitewashing India 3-0 in their own backyard. Insanity! Also, Pant got unlucky with that controversial call.
It was unfortunate and a gray area but usually, such a call goes in favor of the batter when the on-field decision is not out. Not today. It's part of the game, so it's all good and we shouldn't read much into it.

Congratulations Kiwis...
History was made today in a Test match, there was no country in cricket that could whitewash India in a Test on India's own home ground. New Zealand made history where they whitewashed India in Tests on Indian soil that too by a huge margin. Glenn Phillips and Azaz Patel created history by crushing India's batting order. But sadly despite India having a full strength squad today this Test series has to be whitewashed only because of the complete failure of the top order batsmen. Today will be a very memorable day for the Indian audience and cricket lovers.

Kohli and Sharma are just deadweights dragging the whole team down at this point. Gill and Jaiswal have been pretty good on top, but these two keep playing like crap again and again throughout this series.

As Harsha says, Pant is doing Pant stuff while the rest are just following his lead. He is standing between 2-1 and 3-0 right now. Insane pressure, but he seems relaxed as usual.

Meanwhile, India has lost 5 wickets and their latest target is 100 runs and they still have 5 wickets intact. It is expected that India will be able to avoid the white wash with this win which created a chance for India to win. Wicket-keeping batsmen Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja are unbeaten and are trying to reach their target with defensive batting. Experienced players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma can't expect such a performance as they have been out so badly and got out for so few runs which is a shame for the Indian team. The performance of the players is not the same every time and their luck did not help them.

As spectators we will have to wait for some more time to see who wins and those who prepare to bet might try to take India side but New Zealand chances of winning are not over.
I think India still have a chance to win this match as their wicket keeper batsman Rishabh Pant is still unbeaten. We have seen India perform poorly throughout this series, losing the first two Test matches mainly due to their poor performances. India need 55 runs to win the third match with four wickets still in hand. Rishabh Pant and Washington Sundar are currently at the crease for India. A lot of responsibility is on these two batsmen because if these two batsman perform well then maybe their team India can win today's match.

If India's top order batsmen Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Subhman Gill, Jaiswal and Sarfaraz Khan had batted patiently, it might have been easier for India to win today's match. If India lose to New Zealand in this match today, they might be whitewashed in the Test series by 3-0.

But if the Indian team wins this match, their reputation will be saved in general, because it is being played on India's home soil, so it is natural that the Indian team will be strong. But they have lost the last two matches badly so winning this match is the toughest challenge for team India because this match must be won by team India.

30 mins have passed by in this match since morning and it is all going as expected by the Indian team. Jadeja took the last wicket of Patel and ended the New Zealand innings today. This means that India only needs 147 runs to win this test match. India started the chase but as usual Rohit Sharma unable to play well in this innings too and was out on 11 runs. He is not in a good form. He got a top edge and Phillips took a nice running backward catch. Shubman Gill arrived to bat and he has played well in the first innings. I think India has enough batting to win this match but Rohit Sharma form is a concern for the team.
Unbelievable Batting India When I woke up this morning, I saw that five wickets had fallen. India lost 5 quick wickets in just 29 runs. very disappointing start from the indian Openior after wicket of Robit Sharam wickets fallen with speed. New Zealand bowling performance is amazing especially Ajaz Patel picked 3 wickets by just giving 22 runs. Ajaz Patel picked the most important wickets including Virat kholi, Shubman Gill and Sarfraz Khan. I think its very difficult for team india to get back in this match they needs a good partnership between Rishabh Pant and Ravinder Jadeja if indian want to win this match and avoid whitewashed from New Zealand. India needs 118 runs to win this match and they have 5 wickets in hands.

New Zealand team has given India a target of only 147 runs in the third ODI match. Although India has lost an opening wicket on the third day, they still have enough wickets to meet the target. We can expect India to win this match, and if they win this match, India will be 2/1 in the series. I think that the target of only 147 runs will be achieved very easily by the Indian batsmen in today's match, so by winning this match, India will be saved from a whitewash. If these two batsmen Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal can play well, they will bring India victory in today's match.
New Zealand did not bat well enough in the first innings and the performance of the batsmen in the second innings was very poor. New Zealand scored 235 in the first innings and were all out for just 174 in the 2nd innings. India were all out for 263 in the first innings. Now New Zealand leads by 146 runs in the second innings. India needed 147 runs to win. So far in the second innings, India have collected 29 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 7 overs. Rohit Sharma was out for 11 runs from 11 balls and Shubman Gill was out for 1 run and Virat Kohli was out for 1 run, Yashasvi Jaiswal was also out for 5 runs. India are under pressure after losing 4 crucial wickets, now Indian batsmen need to be patient and bat well. India's batting line looks bad, batting like this will not be possible for India to win. Let's see if the New Zealand bowlers can surprise.

Tom Latham returned to the dressing room after collecting only 1 run. New Zealand has collected 26 runs in 9 overs. New Zealand must set a target of around 300 if they want to win. Given a target of less than 300, New Zealand's chances of winning are slim.
India had just given New Zealand a lead of 28 runs and New Zealand topped that lead with an already five-run lead. However, the better the team can perform this innings, the more likely the team will win, especially in ODI style, the team that scores more will have more chances to win. Latham scored 28 runs in the first innings but was dismissed for just one run in this innings and was dismissed by Akash Deep in every innings. However, in today's session if India can attack the spinners in succession and get the top order batsmen out early then the match is expected to be in India's favour.

However Conway dismissed by Washington Sundar

India's players cannot take a big lead. But in the second innings too, New Zealand's batsmen have completely failed to bat well. Even New Zealand may not be able to collect even 200 runs in their second innings. Because at the end of the second day, New Zealand's collection is only 171 runs and the New Zealand team has already lost 9 wickets.

Like the first innings, the two Indian bowlers Washington Sundar and Jadeja bowled very well in the second innings. Sundar took four wickets in the first innings and three wickets in the second innings. And Jadeja picked up 5 wickets in the first innings, Jadeja managed to pick up four wickets in the second innings. Due to the good performance of these two Indian bowlers, India is in a very good position at the moment. After losing the first two matches, India will probably win the last match.

The New Zealand team has given a lead of 143 runs so far, although they performed well in the first innings but the New Zealand team failed in the second innings. India team can easily overcome this deficit of 143 runs, because of good batting performance in first innings and pressure free performance in second innings. However, in the last two matches, the New Zealand team won consecutively and defeated the Indian team brutally. 

But if the Indian team wins this match, their reputation will be saved in general, because it is being played on India's home soil, so it is natural that the Indian team will be strong. But they have lost the last two matches badly so winning this match is the toughest challenge for team India because this match must be won by team India.

India is now in control of third match because New Zealand is struggling with batting. New Zealand can not get a big lead which helps India. In their second innings New Zealand is having trouble scoring even 200 runs. This makes India likely to win. Two Indian bowlers Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja are doing great job. Sundar took 7 wickets in both innings and Jadeja took 9 wickets. This has stopped New Zealand from scoring. After losing first two matches India is now likely to win last one due to their excellent bowlers.
