チャンピオンズトロフィー：AUS準決勝で知る必要があるすべて

The first semi-final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be a thrilling encounter between India and their archrivals Australia at the Dubai International Stadium on March 4. India will be eager to avenge their defeat to Australia in the 2023 ODI World Cup final held on Indian soil.

India topped Group A with a 44-run victory over New Zealand, securing the top spot and setting up a semi-final clash with Australia, who finished second in Group B. This match is of immense importance, as the winner will earn a spot in the Champions Trophy final.

Despite missing key players, the Australian team has consistently demonstrated their ability to win crucial matches and should not be underestimated. India, although without the services of Jasprit Bumrah, boasts a deep and talented squad capable of outclassing any team in the world. Having already adapted to the conditions in Dubai, India holds an advantage over Australia, who will need to adjust quickly for the semi-final showdown.

Dubai Stadium pitch report

The pitch at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is known for offering balanced conditions for both batters and bowlers. Early on, fast bowlers can expect some seam movement with the new ball, which may benefit them in the initial overs. As the match progresses, batting conditions generally improve, making it easier for batters to score runs. However, spinners can come into play during the middle overs, especially if the surface slows down, as the pitch tends to offer genuine turn.

Dew can be a significant factor in night matches, making batting easier under lights and reducing the effectiveness of spinners in the second innings.
