The Champions Trophy 2025 is getting exciting as India prepares to face Australia in the semi-finals. So far, Team India has performed well in the group stage, winning matches against Bangladesh, Pakistan, and New Zealand. But can they defeat Australia and move closer to the trophy? Former Indian cricketer Deep Dasgupta shared his thoughts on this crucial match.
India Has a Good Chance, But It Won’t Be Easy
Deep Dasgupta believes India has a great opportunity to win the Champions Trophy, but the road to victory will not be simple. He mentioned that the real challenge of the tournament started when India faced New Zealand after beating Bangladesh and Pakistan. According to him, if Team India wants to lift the trophy, they should focus on their own game rather than worrying about their opponents.
India vs Australia – Head-to-Head Record
India and Australia have played 151 One-Day International (ODI) matches so far. Australia has won 84 matches, while India has won 57. This shows that Australia has historically been stronger in ODIs. However, in the Champions Trophy, India has a better record against Australia. They have played twice in this tournament, and India won both times. One of their matches ended without a result due to rain.
In ICC ODI knockout matches, India and Australia have faced each other six times. These matches have always been tough, making the upcoming semi-final even more interesting.
Final Thoughts
India is in great form, with both batters and bowlers performing well. However, Australia is a strong team with a history of winning crucial matches. If India wants to win, they need to play fearlessly and give their best performance. Fans are eagerly waiting to see if Team India can defeat Australia and take one step closer to becoming the Champions Trophy winners.
