Should India win at the SCG, it would knock Sri Lanka out of contention - India would be on a points percentage of 57.02, ahead of Sri Lanka’s maximum of 53.85. Should Australia lose the final Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test but win 2-0 in Sri Lanka, they would reach a points percentage of 58.77, just ahead of India. In that case, a 2-0 win for Sri Lanka over Australia would see Sri Lanka join South Africa in the final, while a 1-0 win for Sri Lanka would send India through.
