Former Indian cricketer Ambati Rayudu, while speaking to a local media outlet:

"It's going to be Adam Zampa versus Virat Kohli (a key battle in the semi-final). Virat has struggled a bit against leg-spinners lately, but the kind of form he has shown in this tournament will serve him well against Australia."

"The intent was there, and expectations were high. You could see in his eyes that he was focused, hungry for a big score. On big occasions, Virat Kohli usually rises to the challenge and gives us those celebratory moments.”

“Unfortunately, Glenn Phillips took an unbelievable catch to dismiss him. It was just one of those days where luck wasn't on his side. But hopefully, he converts this hunger into a big innings in the semi-finals. We all want to see him at his best, and he has our full support. Glenn Phillips just spoilt the party."

Kohli will struggle against Zampa . There is no battle here, its one sided. The key against Zampa will be Shreyas Iyer. He was not there long enough in the 23 final . He takes spinners on unlike kohli mental midget klrahul. For me , Shreyas is key . Infact , Cummins after the 23 final said - the player they planned the most was Shreyas Iyer, not kohli, not rohit. That should say something about how crucial he is.
 
Dubai pitch, unless it drastically change, is not suitable pitch for Travis Head..Mark it, he will be out for single digit score...Steven Smith can grind on this pitch with his test batting skill..and maxi can score some quick runs in the end..don't see rest of them contributing..even though Aussies don't have their 3 main fast bowlers, I don't think it's a loss in Dubai pitch..Rather they only have one main spinner like pak..unless they play tanveer sangha..it's the best opportunity to bear Aussies..Hope India don't screw it..

Kohli Rohit both suck
Need to be thrown out
And especially rahul

But lmao Iyer is easiest to plan for

He can’t play short ball. Period
 
My worries about India

KL Rahul as a keeper and batsman
Death bowling
Pitch not offering much turn
Zampa running through us
Head having one more day out
SOmeone get injured
SHreyas Iyer succumbing to hook very early on.

Otherwise I am confident :)
 
If this Aus team with Ellis and Darwshus beats Ind it will be big upset. However, since 2003, Ind managed to beat Aus in tournaments only in 2011 WC.

Iyer's wicket was key moment. Gill threw his wicket. And I had no expectations from mental midget KL.
I wish instead of Kohli-KL, we had Kohli-Iyer partnership. Kohli would've continued his safety first approach and Iyer could take on spinners.
But first ball Iyer faced from Cummins, he got out and later Kohli's unlucky dismissal closed the game.
It wasn't our day.

The downside of this is the old senior players would stay further till next world cup with their mediocre performances..we are long due for the transition which won't happen soon if we win..

2019, 2023. Don't think only finals are legitimate contests.

After 2011

2011 - India
2015 - Australia
2019 - India
2023 - India & Australia

So 3-2 India after 2011. Can we pull out the stats of other teams against Australia?

In CT Australia is yet to beat India.
 
If India defeats Australia, sooks will be like, no big deal. India had everything going in its favour, pitch, acclimatization to the conditions etc.

If India loses, all hell will break lose. Can't even win against this weakened Australian side which was playing in alien conditions etc.

Basically India can't win with these sooks, whatever happens on field.

Pandya's absence completely screwed us. Also brainless team management thought SKY is a ODI batsman. We could have easily played Jaiswal in 2023 world cup or even Rishabh pant. 3 main guys who have caused trouble against AUstralia were Pant, Pandya, Ashwin. ALl 3 were missing.

Only one team that has competed well against Australaia since 2000 till 2025 in ICC ODI events is India. Bangladesh is lifelong bunny of Australia.

5-4 Australia

Look at the state of other teams against Australia in ICC ODI events after 2000

vs NZ 10-1
vs Pakistan 5-1
vs Windies 4-1
vs Srilanka 7-2
vs England 8-4

2011 WC QF -- India
2015 WC SF--Aus
2023 WTC Final--Aus

I seriously doubt it.. atleast I don't see any symptom of it.. if Rohit knows he is unfit he wouldn't have played CT on first hand...he neither retired nor resigned captaincy from test after BGT despite performing poorly..If he wins CT and performed well in any of the two matches, he will continue till selectors kick him out..Kohli again will aim for 2027 world cup..Indian players never retire easily..

It works for them because nobody gives a damn in Australia if they win or lose.

Often we put it on all the players but maybe it’s us fans who need to learn how to react to sports.

However, BD bowling attack was also significantly weak back then. I remember they used to rock Syed Rasel, Shafiul Islam, among other trundlers.

India is a much bigger tournament team than any team in the last 15 years. Tournament teams don't necessarily win the ultimate prize. Sometimes things don't fall in place on a specific day. Australia is a dangerous side when they are in a nothing to lose situation. Also Smith the captain >> Cummins the captain in terms of strategy. Cummins usually lifts his perfomrance as a captain. Strategically not a great captain.

Injury to Pandya in 2023 and Dhawan in 2019 cost us big time.
But a resourceful team like India with so many players could've handled better.

But what to say, our selectors play Rahane in T20 WC and SKY in ODI WC.
Not to forget likes of Karthik, Shankar in 2019 or Kedar Jadhav in CT 17.
 
Ponting ponders daring alternative as Australia’s opener against India in Champions Trophy semi-final

Australia needs to fill a spot at the top of the order for their semi-final against India, after a quadriceps injury ruled out Matthew Short for the remainder of the Champions Trophy.

Ricky Ponting has declared he would back big-hitting youngster Jake Fraser-McGurk to slot in as Matt Short’s replacement at the top of Australia’s batting order for their ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 semi-final clash against India.

Short picked up a quad injury in Australia’s group match against Afghanistan. His absence promotes traveling reserve Cooper Connolly into the squad. The West Australian, like Short, is a powerful hitter that is also a capable off-spin bowler, proving to be a like-for-like replacement.

While left-armer Connolly would likely contribute in both disciplines for Australia, particularly on Dubai’s spin-friendly wicket, Ponting is putting his faith in Fraser-McGurk.

Fraser-McGurk, who is nearing his 23rd birthday, is a swashbuckling batter in the shorter formats of the game. He has so far made seven appearances for Australia in ODIs, hitting at a strike-rate of 132. Production, though, has been fleeting, averaging just 14 runs with a top score of 41.

"He can slot straight into that position," he said in the latest edition of The ICC Review.

"To be honest, that’s the way I would probably go and just hope that he has one of his days because in games like these, the semi-finals, must-win, big games, you need to throw caution to the wind.

"I think he's the sort of player that if you back him, and give him an opportunity, he might just be good enough to win a big game for you like that."

The ICC Hall of Famer also suggested some potential alternatives, including the batters that already feature in Australia’s playing XI at the Champions Trophy.

"They could even move Steve Smith up there and open the batting,” Ponting said. “He's done a terrific job when he's opened in T20 cricket the last couple of years. He's a good player of fast bowling, which was one of the points I made before trying to negate that new ball and get through to those middle-overs.

"They could put [Josh] Inglis up there if they wanted to, and then leave someone like Cooper Connolly as another left-hander in the middle order that could give them some spin options."

Ultimately, though, Ponting would give Fraser-McGurk the nod – partially due to his excellent performance in the IPL in 2024, where he finished with a strike-rate of 234 from nine innings.

"He probably has been a little bit disappointed with his output in the opportunities that he's had in the last six months,” Ponting said. “So this might just be the game where he can do something...like he did in the IPL with the Delhi Capitals last season."

Never have we ever walked into a tournament match with so much hype & fear mongering about an opposition player (Travis Head).

Closest i can remember is Shoaib Akhtar in 2003 WC.

I'm not aware of how long you've been following cricket but I'm assuming you're a veteran.

The person who use to make India feel the most helpless was Mattew Hayden. Way more then Travis Head ever did.

Another candidate is saeed Anwar however the reason people don't really value that is because every tom dick and Harry was bullying 1990's India.

2000 India and current India are downright impossible to bully which is probably why mcgrath, Hayden, Steve smith(in tests), and Travis are feared by Indians.

For some reason India hasn't really been able to neutralise them which is funny cause their the first team to neutralise Ponting, Lee and Warne.

There was a lot of hype about Shoaib and Brett Lee in 2003 WC. Both aiming to break 100 mph barrier on bouncy pitches of South Africa.

We did hammer Shoaib but going into that match, the hype and fear mongering was unreal. It’s for that reason only the upper cut was also celebrated and hyped too much. Sachin has played hundreds of better shots in his career to tougher deliveries. But the context of it meant everything. The way he deflated Shoaib in that first over, one six and 3 boundaries.

That was more media hype I guess. Akhtar for all his talks about jazba and daleri never really stepped up when the heat was on. Not consistently anyway .

That GOAT Aussie did . There was something very inevitable about McGrath getting Tendulkar out cheaply and that's exactly what he did in the final. Just like he did in '99.

Nehra was way better than AKhtar. Especially bowled an unplayable spell against England

Zaheer 18 wickets@20.77/4.23ER
Srinath 16 wickets@23.06/4.04ER
Nehra 15 wickets@19.26/4.17ER
Akhtar 11 wickets@22.90/5.72ER
 
Around the wicket close to the body target middle & off stump to dismissed the head.

Come on hardik you can do it today :kp
 
I hope Australia wins this match. I Don't like that India is playing in Dubai when the Tournament hosts are Pakistan. Should have just withdrawn if they have security concerns.
Not the players' fault obviously but doesn't sit right with me.

I think india will win though. They are very strong in these conditions and in general just a very strong team in limited overs at the moment

Australia in general. They've always been the final bosses or cricket since it's inception. No matter how weak, they will always remain the final boss.

The only team everyone enjoys beating and hates losing to, irrespective of their skill

if australia bast first and gets 280 tehre could be a match..still australian fast bowling seems weak..they need maxwell and zampa to get wickets...
 
These two teams are meeting in this format for the first time since Australia quieted a roaring Ahmedabad crowd to secure the World title.
