Why is WTC final always in England?

Infrastructure. The infrastructure and resources available in England also contribute to the smooth execution of the WTC final. The country boasts a comprehensive network of stadiums, hotels, transportation, and support services necessary to host a high-profile cricket event of this magnitude.

What if it rains in WTC?

According to Accuweather, there’s about a 90 per cent probability of rain at the Kensington Oval on Sunday, while the chances of thunderstorms stand at 36 per cent – With two more wickets, including that of Virat Kohli, falling on Sunday, India is staring at a defeat in World Test Championship (WTC) final at The Oval.

With rain expected sometime on Sunday, here’s what will happen if the day gets washed out. The Indian cricket team needs 258 more runs to defeat Australia and win WTC but it only has five wickets left and not many specialist batsmen expected to play. However, the Australian cricket team is still in control of the situation after setting a “record” target of 444 runs for India.

There are chances that the championship win will not just depend on how both teams perform on the final day but also on how the weather behaves. Rain and thunderstorms are anticipated to cause disruptions in WTC final taking place at the Oval in London.

1. According to Accuweather, there’s about a 90 per cent probability of rain at the Kennington Oval on Sunday, while the chances of thunderstorms stand at 36 per cent.
2. In fact, a yellow warning has also been issued in the city for the day.
3. Rain is most likely in the afternoon and less likely in the evening and night.

On day 5, there is a good chance that the weather will likely create a disturbance in the WTC final between India and Australia. Here is what will happen if the finals get disrupted by the weather conditions in London: If crucial playing time is missed during the course of the five-day Test, a Reserve Day has been retained.

However, on Day 5, the game can be finished without going into the Reserve Day if the game time is also extended. For instance, if the game is only impacted by rain for an hour, the play time can be increased by an equal amount of time. However, if the game gets halted by rain for a longer duration of time, the game may be moved to Reserve Day.

The time lost on Day 5 will be the only addition on Day 6 in this scenario. If none of the teams emerge as a winner and the match ends in a draw, even after the match heads into the Reserve Day, both Australia and India will be announced as the joint-winners of WTC 2023.

What if it rains in WTC Final?

What plans do we have for the reserve day? – If it rains on the day of the game, the International Cricket Council (ICC) rules provide that just a portion of the scheduled overs can be played, and the test match will continue until the final day. However, if the outcome of the match cannot be determined, the umpires have the option of moving the game to the reserve day.

1. The match will not be extended to the reserve day if the outcome is determined to be a loss, victory, draw, or tie within the first five normal days of play.
2. Only in the event that fewer overs are played on each day than the total number of fixed overs will the reserve day be used.
3. The reserve day will then be used to play the remaining overs.

According to the ICC, the referee is the one who will make the decision regarding the reserve day. If there is any issue regarding the time, the referee will inform both teams about the issue and explain how the reserve day might be utilized. On the fifth day of the normal day, the referee will let the players know one hour before the match is over whether or not there will be a reserve day, as well as how long it will go if there is going to be one.

What is the penalty for overs in WTC?

After Their 19-Point Penalty, Is England’s World Test Championship Campaign Already Over? England received at the end of the, which could have a huge impact on their ability to qualify for the final. The ICC in the middle of the Ashes series. A team can now be penalised only if they bowl more than 160 overs in the game, or 80 overs in an innings if the opposition only bats once.

1. The previous threshold was 120 overs in the game or 60 overs in a single innings.
2. England were penalised for the rate at which they bowled their overs in four out of five Tests, while Australia were only penalised in one (Old Trafford).
3. England’s fast-scoring rate compared to Australia’s more traditional approach means that, despite scoring 69 runs more than Australia across the series, they faced fewer 250 overs.

Headingley was the only Test in which England’s bowlers sent down fewer than 160 overs and thus were not at risk of an over-rate penalty. The penalty means that England’s points total from the series has been slashed from 28 to nine. With six teams having started their 2023-25 WTC campaigns, England currently sit second bottom.

• Despite there being another two years before the finalists are confirmed, this could have a serious impact on The format of the 2023-25 edition is that each team will play six series which count towards the points table.
• Three of these series will be at home and three away.
• Each series will be between two and five Tests, with 12 points available for a win (four for a draw).

Teams are ranked in the table by the percentage of the points available to them, that they have won (PCT). England’s PCT is currently 15 because they have won nine out of an available 60 points. England will play 22 matches across the cycle, with a maximum of 264 points to win.

• Given they have already played five of these matches, they have a maximum of 204 points left which they can win.
• The maximum PCT they can therefore reach is 80.
• This would be in the highly unlikely event that they win all of their remaining matches and receive no more over-rate penalties.
• In, a PCT of 58 was enough to qualify for the final.

To reach that number in this edition, England would need 153 points, 144 more than they have now. Because of their schedule, England get nearly half of their matches in this cycle out of the way in its first year. After their next series against India, they will have played ten out of their assigned 22 matches.

• That means, after the India series, they will only have a maximum of 144 points available to them.
• Thus, even though losing all five Tests in India isn’t enough to mathematically count them out of the 58 PCT number, it makes it overwhelmingly unlikely.
• By every measure of prediction, England are not expected to win the series in India.

In the last decade,, Since England’s series win in 2012, no side has won more than one Test match in a series in India. To illustrate the scale of what England need WTC points-wise, let’s assume they break the mould and win three of the five Tests in India, with one draw and one India win.

• That would take them to a PCT of 40, and to 49 of the 153 they need to reach an end goal of 58 PCT (which still might not be enough to qualify, Australia failed to qualify for the 2021 final with a PCT of 69.2).
• That would still mean, from their remaining 12 Tests in the cycle, England would need 104 points.

In this reality, they could only afford to drop 40 points, the equivalent of three losses and a draw, from those Tests. All of this comes with the potential threat of further over-rate penalties as well. Going back to the series in India, if England lose two Test matches, still with one draw and two wins, they could only afford to drop 18 points across the rest of the cycle.

• In the scenario recent history predicts that England will win a maximum of one Test in India, and India win the other four, one loss in their remaining matches would be enough to ensure they finish the round-robin stage with a PCT of less than 58.
• England play New Zealand away in a three-Test series as part of their schedule, a country that before this year they hadn’t won a Test match since 2008.

They also head back to Pakistan for a three-Test series. While they pulled off the 3-0 whitewash last time around, such is the rarity of any country managing to do that, for England to do it back-to-back would be unprecedented. Sri Lanka and the West Indies are the only countries left to visit England in this cycle and while they will start both series as favourites, as we saw this summer the rain can always play spoilsport.

• England are also potentially more likely than some other sides to be hit with over-rate penalties.
• Sides that play most of their Tests in conditions that suit spin bowling are less at risk of these penalties.
• Given England play half their cycle at home where seam dominates, penalties for them are much more likely.

The paths other teams have to the final also need to be considered. Australia only have to play another four Test matches outside Australia during their cycle. India already have 16 out of a possible 24 points from their series in the West Indies. They have ten home Tests waiting for them.

Pakistan currently lead the table after a 2-0 win in Sri Lanka. The West Indies have yet to win a Test, yet sit above England in the table because of the fewer points they have available to win. To look on the bright side for England, what they have achieved over the last 14 months would have seemed impossible two years ago.

They could well pull off yet another miracle here. Taking out over-rate penalties, if you apply the WTC scoring system to their new era, their PCT is 68. It will be a sensational campaign if they manage it. Subscribe to the for post-match analysis, player interviews, and much more.
