Champions Trophy: Spin-heavy India Look To Tame Gritty Australia In Semis
Dubai International Cricket Stadium: Dubai is set to host a blockbuster clash as India and Australia lock horns in the first semifinal of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on Tuesday, with both teams eyeing a spot in the grand finale on March 9, here at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
India have been dominant throughout the tournament, finishing the group stage unbeaten. Rohit Sharma’s men began their campaign with a hard-fought six-wicket win against Bangladesh, riding on a sublime unbeaten 101 not out from Shubman Gill and a five-wicket haul from Mohammed Shami.
They followed it up with a clinical performance against arch-rivals Pakistan, where Virat Kohli’s masterful century anchored a six-wicket victory in a 241-run chase. Against New Zealand, India faced a stern test but emerged unscathed as Shreyas Iyer’s 79 guided them to 249/9 before Varun Chakravarthy’s five-wicket haul sealed a comfortable win, confirming their place in the semifinals.
