Answer:
23 matches.
Step-by-step explanation:
As the team has played a total of 20 (17+3) matches so far, which is 2/3 rd of total matches, hence total matches = 30. To win more than three-fourths of the total number of matches, the team has to win 3/4 * 30 = 22.5. Thus, the team has to win at least 23 matches.
