After this result, the 5-match series between the two is tied at 1-1. Australia is at number 2 and India at number 3 in the World Test Championship (WTC) points table. South Africa is at number one.</p>

<p>India will have to win both the remaining matches to reach the final on its own. On the other hand, if Australia wins 3 out of 4 matches, it will finish in the top-2. At the same time, South Africa needs only one win in 2 Tests against Pakistan.</p>

<h2><strong>India at number three, needs 2 wins</strong></h2>

<p>Even after playing a draw in Brisbane, India&#39;s hopes of reaching the WTC final are alive. India has 114 points from 9 wins, 6 losses and 2 draws in 17 matches. The team was penalized 2 points, so currently their position is number-3 with 55.88% points. India now has only 2 matches left in the current series against Australia. If the team loses even one match, it will be out of the race for the final.</p>

<p>Know how Team India can reach the final with different results...</p>

<ul>
	<li>If India wins the series 3-1, 60.53% points: Team India will qualify.</li>
	<li>If India wins the series 2-1, 57.02% points: Australia wins 1-0 in Sri Lanka or South Africa loses 0-1 to Pakistan.</li>
	<li>If the series is drawn 2-2, 55.26% points: Australia loses 0-1 in Sri Lanka or South Africa loses 0-2 to Pakistan.</li>
	<li>If the series is drawn 1-1, 53.51% points: South Africa loses 0-2 or Australia loses 0-1 in Sri Lanka or draws 0-0. If Sri Lanka wins 2-0, India will be out.</li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>Australia needs 3 wins</strong></h2>

<p>Australia has won only one match in BGT so far, but the team has more chances to reach the final. Australia has 106 points from 9 wins, 4 losses and 2 draws in 15 matches. The team was also penalized 10 points, so they have 58.89% points. After India, Australia has to play 2 Tests in Sri Lanka. They need more than 60% points to qualify on their own.</p>

The team is at the fifth position with 45.45% points, they have 2 matches left against Australia. By winning 2-0, the team will get 53.85% points and can reach the top-2.

<h2><strong>Pakistan can also reach the WTC final</strong></h2>

<p>Pakistan also has a small chance of playing the WTC final. The team currently has 40 points after 4 wins and 6 losses in 10 Tests. They were also given a penalty of 8 points, so the team is at number 7 with 31.25% points. The team has 4 matches left, 2 against South Africa and 2 against West Indies.</p>

<p>If Pakistan wins all four matches, then they will have 52.38% points. Here also they need that South Africa is given a penalty of 1 point, only then the team will be able to reach above them. However, if India and Australia win even 1-1 matches, then Pakistan&#39;s hopes will end.</p>

<h2><strong>4 teams out of the race 9 teams participate in WTC.</strong></h2>

<p>imbabwe, Ireland and Afghanistan do not play the World Test Championship series. West Indies, Bangladesh, England and New Zealand are out of the race for the final. Among these, West Indies is the only team that got out of the race even before its last series.</p>

South Africa (SA) vs Pakistan (PAK) 1st T20I Match

<p><strong>South Africa (SA) vs Pakistan (PAK) 1st T20I Match Prediction, Dream11 Prediction, Match Preview</strong></p>

<p><strong>Pitch Report, Weather Report &amp; Probable XI</strong></p>

<p>South Africa (SA) will take on Pakistan (PAK) in the first T20I at the Centurion on December 13. After winning the Test series against Sri Lanka by 2-0, the hosts will look towards the white-ball series. On the other hand, Pakistan are coming off a T20I series win against Zimbabwe by 2-1 and they even won the ODI series by the same margin.</p>

<p>The change in leadership seems to have been working for Pakistan as Mohammed Rizwan led them to their first series win in Australia after over 20 years. On the other hand, South Africa</p>

<p>recently lost the four-match T20I series against India by 3-1 and the Proteas would like to get back to winning ways against another subcontinent team with Heinrich Klaasen leading the side.</p>

<p><strong>Match: South Africa (SA) Vs Pakistan (PAK), 1st T20I Match Prediction Dream11 Fantasy Tips</strong></p>

<p><strong>Venue:</strong> Centurion</p>

<p><strong>Date&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Time: 13th December, Tuesday at 9:30 PM IST</strong></p>

<p><strong>Total matches - 27<br />
SA won - 11<br />
PAK won - 15<br />
NR - 01,</strong></p>

<h2><strong>Pitch Report:</strong></h2>

<p>The pitch at the Centurion, assists the batters and bowlers equally. The surface has typically proven good for batting and Durban is known to offer more help to the spinners in comparison to other venues in the country. Pacers accounted for 65 percent of the wickets across the last four T20Is but spin had a big say as well. The powerplay phase might not be fruitful for bowlers, with only 10 percent of the wickets falling in the first six overs in the last four T20Is. Chasing might be the preferred option given the record at the venue.</p>

<p>The average first innings score is here 155 runs.</p>

<h2><strong>Weather Report:</strong></h2>

<p>The temperature is expected to hover around 29&deg;C on the Tuesday with 75% humidity and 20 - 25 km/hr wind speed. There are 5% chance of the rain during the match.</p>

What did Taylor say about Mohammed Siraj?

<p>Former Australia captain Mark Taylor has raised questions on Mohammad Siraj&#39;s celebration. The 60-year-old former captain said- &#39;Siraj has a habit of celebrating premature wickets without waiting for the umpire&#39;s decision. His senior teammates in Team India should talk to Siraj on this issue, because it feels bad to do so.&#39;</p>

<p>Taylor told Nine News- &#39;When Siraj feels that he has dismissed the batsman, he runs towards his teammates to celebrate even before the umpire&#39;s decision comes.&#39; The Indian fast bowler was fined 20% of his match fee by the ICC for aggressive celebration against Travis Head.</p>

<h2><strong>What did Taylor say about Mohammed Siraj?</strong></h2>

<p>As far as Mohammad Siraj is concerned, I would like his senior teammates to talk to him. Not so much about what happened with Travis Head, but he should be talked to about the fact that when he thinks he has dismissed the batsman, he does not turn to see the umpire&#39;s decision and starts celebrating. I think this is not a good sight for him and the game. I like his enthusiasm, I like his competitive nature, I like the fact that we are having a really good series, but there is also respect for the game that needs to be maintained. I think talking to senior teammates will help him understand this thing.</p>

<h3><strong>Siraj came into the limelight after arguing with Head</strong></h3>

<p>Siraj has become the topic of discussion after having a little argument with Head during the Adelaide Test. On the second day of the Pink Ball Test match on December 7, Head hit a six off Siraj&#39;s ball. Then Siraj bowled him out on the very next ball.</p>
