India is set to face Australia in the semi-final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, with the winner advancing to the final against either South Africa or New Zealand. The Indian team, led by Rohit Sharma, is looking to avenge their defeat in the ODI World Cup final and secure a spot in the championship match. Australia, on the other hand, has made two changes to their team, with Cooper Connolly and Tanveer Sangha replacing Matthew Short and Spencer Johnson.

The match is expected to be a closely contested one, with both teams boasting strong lineups and a history of intense rivalry. India has won all three of their group stage matches, while Australia has had a mixed campaign, with one win and two abandoned matches due to rain. The Indian team will be looking to their spin bowlers, including Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy, to make an impact on the Australian batsmen.

In their previous encounter, India suffered a defeat at the hands of Australia in the ODI World Cup final. However, the Indian team has been in good form in the Champions Trophy, with convincing wins over their opponents. The team will be looking to their experienced players, including Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, to lead the charge against Australia. The batsmen will need to be at their best to tackle the Australian bowling attack, which includes the likes of Nathan Ellis and Adam Zampa.

The semi-final match between India and Australia is scheduled to take place in Dubai, with the toss set to take place shortly. The Indian team will be looking to win the toss and choose to bat first, given the favorable conditions for batting in Dubai. However, the Australian team will be looking to capitalize on any mistakes made by the Indian team and secure a spot in the final. The fielding will also play a crucial role in the match, with both teams looking to take advantage of any errors made by their opponents.
