A riveting thriller of India vs Australia is all set to begin today. The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 first semifinal between India and Australia at the Dubai International Stadium reminds cricket fans of the 2023 ODI World Cup final. India, which remained unbeatable throughout the campaign, lost to Australia in the final and missed the World Cup. Both teams faced each other on several crucial occasions, where Australia had the upper hand. With an intense battle of India vs Australia on the cards today, who do you think will emerge victorious?
India enters the game today with immense confidence from a series of wins in the Championship. The team won all its group matches against Bangladesh, New Zealand, and archrivals Pakistan. However, the contest against Australia today will be a crucial one. Australia is known for fighting till the end, so Rohit Sharma-led India must focus on winning at any cost. The team must avoid silly mistakes, losing composure, and dropping a single chance.
A lot depends on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The skipper must build a solid partnership with Shubman Gill. Experienced players like Virat, Shreyas, KL Rahul, and Jadeja must trouble the Aussie bowlers.
On the other hand, Australia will go all the way out to clinch the game from India. Travis Head, Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell and Adam Zampa will fight tooth and nail to disappoint India. Josh Inglis is in good form.
India: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy
Australia: Cooper Conolly, Travis Head, Steven Smith (c), Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis (wk), Alex Carey, Glenn Maxwell, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Tanveer Sangha
