Arguably the biggest Champions Trophy match is approaching as India is set to face Australia in the Champions Trophy semifinal, scheduled for 4th March at the Dubai International Stadium. Team India will look to pull off an impressive win over Australia; however, this will not be easy, as Australia has always been dominant in knockout matches. India has not had much success against Australia in such encounters, managing only one win, which came in the 2011 ODI World Cup quarterfinal. In contrast, their latest face-off in the 2023 ODI World Cup final saw Travis Head’s remarkable century shatter India’s dream of becoming world champions.
As for Team India’s combination, it will be interesting to see whether last-match hero Varun Chakravarthy makes it into the playing XI. Against New Zealand, he completely decimated the opposition, and now, with India playing at the same venue once again—one known for its sluggish surface—spinners are expected to dominate. Players like Travis Head, who struggle against spin, could find it difficult to score freely.
Speaking of India vs Australia head-to-head record in ODIs, Australia has historically dominated, winning 84 out of 151 matches, while India has won 57, with 10 matches ending without a result. Take a detailed look at their overall record.
