The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has reached its semi-final stage, with India taking on Australia in a highly anticipated match. The two teams have a long history of competing against each other in major tournaments, with Australia emerging victorious in their last two encounters in the 2023 World Test Championship final and the ODI World Cup final. However, India is high on confidence after an unbeatable run in the group stage, and they will be looking to turn the tables on their opponents.

The match is being played in Dubai, and the pitches have been challenging, according to Indian captain Rohit Sharma.
