Team India will take on Australia in the 2025 Champions Trophy semifinal at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, March 4. The two teams will lock horns for the first time in ODIs after the 2023 World Cup final, where the Aussies beat India to lift the trophy. Surprisingly, the two teams didn't face each other in the 2013 and 2017 editions.

Overall in ODIs, Australia have the upper hand with 84:57 win ratio in 151 games, including 10 no-results.

In the Champions Trophy, the two teams had last locked horns in 2009, which didn’t yield a result due to rain. However, Australia beat India by six wickets when the two teams faced off prior to that in the 2006 edition of the tournament.

Batting first, India put up 249/8 in 50 overs. Virender Sehwag top scored with 65 runs off 90 balls, including nine boundaries. Captain Rahul Dravid also chipped in with 52 off 63 deliveries. Meanwhile, Mohammad Kaif and MS Dhoni contributed with scores of 30 and 28, respectively.

Brett Lee, Glenn McGrath and Nathan Bracken starred with the ball for the Aussies, returning with two wickets apiece.

Meanwhile, Damien Martyn stayed unbeaten on 73 off 104, a knock laced with eight boundaries, taking the team past the finish line. S Sreesanth produced a fighting effort with the ball for the Men in Blue, returning with two wickets.

Australia's last two group-stage matches against South Africa and Afghanistan were washed out due to rain. The Steve Smith-led side, though, beat England by five wickets, chasing down the highest-ever target in the tournament history.

Batting first, England posted 351/8 in 50 overs. Ben Duckett starred with the bat, scoring 165 off 143 balls, a knock featuring three maximums and 17 boundaries. Joe Root also contributed with 68 off 78, comprising four boundaries.

Ben Dwarshuis emerged as the leading wicket-taker for the Aussies, picking up three scalps. Adam Zampa and Marnus Labuschagne also bagged two wickets each.

Josh Inglis then played his career-best knock, scoring an unbeaten 120 off 86 deliveries with the help of six maximums and eight boundaries. Alex Carey and Glenn Maxwell also chipped in with 69 (63) and 32* (15), respectively.

Mark Wood, Jofra Archer, Brydon Carse, Adil Rashid, and Liam Livingstone scalped one wicket apiece for England.
