India vs Australia is possibly going to be the biggest clash of the Champions Trophy 2025, and with the semifinal stage set, fans couldn’t have asked for a better match. That’s right, no one can deny that in recent times, as well as in the past, India vs Australia has always produced nail-biting contests. Once again, both sides are set to face off in a high-stakes encounter.
The IND vs AUS 1st CT 2025 semifinal will take place at the Dubai International Stadium. India is certainly more familiar with the venue, having played their last three matches here, and now has a solid understanding of the surface. In contrast, Australia is coming straight from Pakistan, where the pitches were batting-friendly and produced high-scoring games. However, things could be different in Dubai, where even reaching 250 runs is a challenge, let alone 300. This is why all eyes will be on the toss, as the winner could gain a slight advantage.
India topped Group A with three wins in three matches, while Australia finished second in Group B with just one win from three games. In ODIs, the two teams have faced each other 151 times, with India winning 57, Australia triumphing in 84, and 10 matches ending without a result.
