India will face South Africa, who have not yet played a match in the World Test Championship cycle. The India-South Africa first Test and Australia-Pakistan second Test starting on Boxing Day on 26th will change the World Test Championship points table again. If they win, India can secure the first position. If they win against Pakistan, they have a chance to climb ahead of Australia.
