New Delhi: India will lock horns with the reigning world champions Australia in the first semi-final of the ongoing Champions Trophy 2025 at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai on Tuesday, March 04. India topped Group A after beating New Zealand by 44 runs in their final group-stage encounter to set up a mouth-watering showdown with Australia in the semi-final.

This will be the first time the two teams will be meeting in an ODI since Australia defeated India by six wickets in the 2023 ODI World Cup final to lift their sixth title. India will be aiming to avenge the defeat and secure their spot in the final of the Champions Trophy 2025. The Men in Blue have some major selection headaches ahead of the all-important semi-final.
