Not very troublesome if we win 3 video games out of 5.
If NZ lose atleast 1 out of three & SL profitable atleast 1 sport out of two in opposition to AUS at house. Then ind vs SA remaining on playing cards. If my guess is appropriate then More than likely ind will play 3 finals in opposition to SA in 1 yr hole incl CT.
