India and Australia face off in the Champions Trophy 2025 semifinal, with India in strong form and Australia missing key pacers.
India will face Australia in the 1st Semi-Final match of ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on 4 March 2025, at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. This article will cover match details, pitch report, playing XI, player stats, Dream11 predictions and fantasy cricket tips for the IND vs AUS match.
Match Preview
India and Australia will face off in the first semifinal of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on March 4 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. India enters the match in strong form, with key batters Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, and Hardik Pandya delivering consistent performances.
Australia, however, faces a major setback with the absence of star pacers Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc, weakening their bowling attack. India, on the other hand, will have to decide whether to include mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy, specially after his fantastic performance versus New Zealand in the last game.
Despite India’s recent dominance, Australia has a strong record in ICC knockout matches against them, winning three out of four encounters. Key battles, such as Virat Kohli vs Adam Zampa and Travis Head’s aggressive approach against India’s spinners, will likely determine the match’s outcome.

Pitch Report
The Dubai International Cricket Stadium offers a balanced pitch that initially provides assistance to fast bowlers, especially under lights, with early movement off the surface. However, as the match progresses, batting conditions tend to improve, making it a favorable venue for chasing teams. Spinners can find some grip in the middle overs if the pitch slows down, but overall, stroke play is encouraged due to the even bounce. With an average first-innings score of around 220 runs, teams winning the toss often opt to bowl first, considering the dew factor that can make defending a total challenging in night matches.
