This essentially means that, to meet the average, the Indian team needs to win eight of their remaining nine games to qualify. The fewest points that a team has needed to qualify were India’s 58.8 in 2023. Even to match that, the two finalists need to win six games and not lose more than one. However, that low tally was an exception, and one would assume a minimum of 65 is needed. Even for that, the Indian team has won at least seven games. With the top two teams currently being South Africa and Australia, playing each other in a three-match series later this year, there is a chance of the barometer dropping from average.
