Ahead of the India vs Bangladesh Test series, team India are favourites to make it into the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) again, which is scheduled to be played at Lord’s from June 11, 2025. India, who have lost the previous two WTC finals, are currently sitting on top of the WTC points table with home matches to play against Bangladesh and New Zealand, starting from September 19.
Indian will then travel to Australia, who are currently placed in second position, and will play a five-match Border Gavaskar Test series, which most likely will give us the finalists for the third final.

Team India to play WTC final?
If team India manages to win the upcoming India vs Bangladesh Test series, then they will solidify their position on top of the WTC points table. The Indian side will then travel to Australia. Team India will play a five-match Border Gavaskar Test series, which most likely will give us the finalists for the third final.
Sri Lanka can be the dark horse in the WTC final race. Sri Lanka, after defeating England in the third Test, will have a big chance to give it a shot. Sri Lanka can finish in the top if they manage to win their two-home series against New Zealand and Australia. The Dhananjaya de Silva-led team has an away series against South Africa as well.
