Following a 44-run win against New Zealand, India sealed the top spot on the Group A points table. And this confirmed India will face Australia in the first semi-final of the ongoing Champions Trophy 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India have entered the semi-final on the back of a comprehensive performance. Australia, on the other hand, have shown why they are the best in ICC tournaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Aussies may not have played all three games completely, but everyone got a glimpse of their never-say-die attitude during the 352-run chase against England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India tasted this firsthand in the 2023 ODI World Cup final. So, they will be cautious in their approach against Australia this time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As both teams aim for the final, here\u2019s the match-day pitch and weather report for the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dubai is known as a chasing ground. And it\u2019s pretty visible from the stats above. Out of 61 matches, teams have gunned down targets 36 times while batting second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, most of the time, the targets have been around 250, which clearly means batting isn\u2019t easy here. Even putting up 250 runs can be a tedious task at his venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IND vs AUS, 1st Semi-Final, CT2025: Dubai International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Dubai International Cricket Stadium has been a slow-scoring ground. The venue is known to have sluggish pitches, which generally don\u2019t see a lot of high-scoring contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, another slow wicket is on the cards for the India vs Australia semi-final. And we will see an even contest between batters and bowlers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the initial phase, batters may struggle to score runs. Once they get hold of the things, runs will start coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the bowlers, there\u2019s some help for the pacer with the new ball. And spinners may dominate the scene in the middle overs, with the surface offering them some assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
