The first semifinal of the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be played by the two teams that have won the title twice, i.e India and Australia. The Men In Blue remained unbeaten during the league while the Aussies won a game while their matches against South Africa and Afghanistan didn’t produce any result.
Their solitary win against England while earning a point each in the next two matches have helped the team qualify for the semis after 2009. On the other hand, the Men In Blue beat Bangladesh, Pakistan, and New Zealand. Thanks to India’s win against New Zealand, the Asian side will play against Australia. Had they lost, they would have played against South Africa.
India vs Australia Head to Head record
Both teams have played five games against each other since 1998, with the 2000 quarterfinal being particularly memorable for Yuvraj Singh and Zaheer Khan’s performances, and the team battling the aftermath of match-fixing investigations. In 2006, the Rahul Dravid-led Indian team lost a must-win game against the eventual champions, Australia.
The 2025 Champions Trophy semifinal added to this rivalry, where India chased down Australia’s target of 264 with ease, thanks to solid performances from Virat Kohli and others. This marked Australia’s fifth loss in nine ICC knockout matches against India.
