Preview

The first semi final of the Champions Trophy 2025 will see Australia locking horns with India, at the Dubai International Stadium, on Tuesday, March 4. India and Australia have faced each other in 151 matches in ODI. Out of these 151 games, India have won 57 whereas Australia have come out victorious on 84 occasions. 10 matches ended without a result. India beat New Zealand in the final group stage match by 44 runs and are unbeaten from Group A with three wins in three matches. On the other hand, Australia's previous match against Afghanistan ended in a no result. 

Match Expert Tips

The captain and vice-captains have been selected keeping the venue in mind. The Dubai International Stadium in Dubai is expected to assist the spinners throughout the game. There will be some help for the pacers as well and batting will be easier with the new ball as evident in the previous game. Both teams are stacked with some great bowlers and we will try to cover as many bowlers and all-rounders.
