As India and Australia gear up for their Champions Trophy 2025 semi-final clash on March 4 at the Dubai International Stadium, all eyes are on their head-to-head record in ODIs. Historically, Australia has dominated India in knockout matches, winning most of their encounters, including the 2023 ODI World Cup final, where Travis Head’s century crushed India’s title hopes.
India, however, has managed only one win in a World Cup knockout match against Australia, which came in the 2011 quarterfinal. With Varun Chakravarthy’s impressive performance against New Zealand, India’s spin attack is expected to play a crucial role on Dubai’s slow surface.
