India vs Australia: Match Preview

India enters this match following a dominant performance in the group stage, having defeated Bangladesh, New Zealand, and Pakistan. All three victories showcased India's consistency and superiority. Throughout these matches, India experimented with various combinations, particularly in the bowling department, and all strategies have proven effective, considering they played all their matches in Dubai.

Australia, on the other hand, started their Champions Trophy 2025 campaign with a remarkable win against England, featuring contributions from new match winners. Unfortunately, they faced setbacks in their next two matches, both of which were affected by rain. One match against South Africa was a no-toss contest, while the other against Afghanistan was called off during the second innings when Australia was chasing the total. Historically, matches between Australia and India are thrilling, and Australia has defeated India in the last four knockout stages of the World Cup.

India vs Australia: Pitch Report

The pitch in Dubai is expected to favour spinners, as has generally been the case. India has found significant success with spin bowling on this surface. Typically, the pitch slows down as the innings progresses, meaning batters must be cautious and utilize the new ball effectively to gain an early advantage. In previous matches, the chasing team has won twice while the team batting first has won once. Considering these factors, the team that wins the toss should opt to bat first to make the most of the surface.
