The most anticipated clash of the Champions Trophy 2025, India vs Australia, will commence today at the Dubai International Stadium as team India will look to avenge their defeat in the ODI World Cup 2023 final whereas Australia will try to maintain their big matches dominance over India. Both teams remained undefeated in their league stage matches, India winning all its matches and Australia winning one, and their remaining two games were interrupted by incessant rain showers.

Rohit Sharma led the Indian team but didn’t have a good journey in the Border Gavaskar Trophy, where Australia, after losing the first test match, won the series by 3-1. The Semi-final 1 will be a do-or-die match for the Indian team to reach the finals of the Champions Trophy 2025.

The venue’s pitch is known for its slowness, and that’s where spinners can dominate. However, the pitch has helped both pacers and spinners in the previous matches played, with some taking fifers in the match. Batters could face trouble timing the ball as a low-scoring match is expected.
