After India, Australia will play a 2-match Test series against Sri Lanka. Not only this, 2 test matches will also be played between Pakistan and South Africa. If India has to play the WTC final, then Sri Lanka will have to defeat Australia and Pakistan will have to defeat South Africa in the test series.
