KARACHI: Pakistan-India Test match started showing a way, the traditional rivals may clash in the final of the Test Championship next year, especially Pakistan will have to win the rest of their home matches to turn it into a showdown, the upcoming Australian tour. I will also need the success of the Indian team.
According to details, the last Test series between Pakistan and India was held in 2007-08, the host Bluecaps narrowly won the 3-match series 0-1.
After that Pakistan team toured India in 2012-13 but then only white ball series was played, after that both teams compete only in ICC events and Asia Cup, both then compete in test cricket. It didn’t happen.
This is the third period of the Test Championship, but in this too, the series between the two countries did not take place, now there is only one way for them to compete in the long format, which is the final of the Test Championship scheduled in England next year.
The possibility of the Indian team playing the final for the third time in a row is bright, in the last two finals they were defeated by New Zealand and Australia respectively, this time also they are currently number one in the table and the way to play the final is apparently clear. .
However, the journey to Pakistan is a bit difficult, the team started this period with a clean sweep victory against Sri Lanka but the Green Caps fell into trouble after losing all three Tests in Australia.
The good thing for them is that 7 out of the remaining 9 Tests of their current season are to be played at home grounds, 2, 2 against Bangladesh and West Indies while there will be a series of 3 matches against England. Have to travel.
If the Green Caps play the best cricket in their country and get victories, the chances of playing in the championship final will increase, but for that it is necessary that the second-ranked Australia are defeated by India in the upcoming 5-Test home series. be
