The Champions Trophy 2025 has reached its semi-final stage, with India taking on Australia in a highly anticipated match. Australia won the toss and chose to bat first, with Cooper Connolly making his debut for the team. Connolly, at just 21 years and 194 days old, became the fourth-youngest player to represent Australia in an ICC one-day tournament. However, his debut was short-lived, as he was dismissed for a duck by Indian bowler Mohammad Shami.

Shami's wicket was a significant one, as Connolly was seen as a key player for Australia. The Indian team has been in good form, having won their previous three matches in the tournament. They have a strong bowling lineup, with Shami, Varun Chakravarthy, and Kuldeep Yadav all capable of taking wickets. The team will be looking to capitalize on their momentum and take an early lead in the match. On the other hand, Australia will be looking to regroup and try to post a competitive total.

The match is being played in Dubai, and the conditions are expected to favor the bowlers. The Indian team has a good record in the Champions Trophy, having won the tournament twice before. They will be looking to dominate the Australian team and book their place in the final.
