However a collapse in batting on Day 2 put India in a dangerous situation, as they got bowled out at just 156.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fans are getting more and more concerned about India&#8217;s ability to reach WTC final for the third consecutive time. Even though they lead the WTC points table, Indian team might face a significant hit to their standings if they lose the Test in Pune. South Africa&#8217;s chance to secure a place in the finals would increase significantly if India loses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If India want to secure a spot in the final of WTC 2023-25, they will have to make sure they do not lose any single Test. The team will also have to secure two draws to secure the spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a solid start in the 2nd Test against New Zealand, India&#8217;s chances of
