The IND vs AUS Champions Trophy match semi-final match will be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on March 4 (Tuesday). Speaking about the last India vs. Australia ODI match was a painful one for the Indian fans, as both sides last faced each other in a 50-over format back in the 2023 ODI World Cup.
Last India vs Australia ODI match
As stated above, the last encounter between India and Australia in an ODI was during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 final in Ahmedabad. India, batting first, started strong and concluded the powerplay at 76/2, largely thanks to Rohit Sharma’s brisk 47. However, Australia made a comeback with disciplined bowling during the middle overs.
The trio of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood took seven wickets collectively, limiting India to a total of 240 runs. KL Rahul emerged as India’s top scorer with 66 off 107 balls, though his slow scoring rate became a topic of debate post-match.

During their chase, Australia found themselves in early trouble at 47/3, having lost key wickets of David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, and Steve Smith. Nevertheless, Travis Head took charge, forging a remarkable 192-run partnership with Marnus Labuschagne for the fourth wicket.
Head’s brilliant innings saw him scoring 137 runs off 120 balls, featuring 15 boundaries and four sixes. His performance earned him the Player of the Final award as Australia clinched their sixth ODI World Cup title.
