What's new

India (267/6) defeat Australia (264) by 4 wickets to qualify for the final of ICC Champions Trophy 2025

Australia should try to get singles and doubles (with occasional boundaries).

Better to crawl to 270 than to get bowled out for 250.
 
It’s sad to see no Bangladeshi or Pakistani supporting india

Where is the Asian block support?

I would've been with you bro if only this semi final was in Pakistan. India would've gotten massive support from Pakistanis if they didn't resort to politics.
 
What I find most interesting about Australia's ODI team is that they just don't give a shi* what anyone says about their combination..

Fans and analysts will have you believe that you need a 5th wicket taking bowling option in modern ODIs and yet the Aussies continue to play 7 batters and continue to win despite relying on part time options to cover up that 5th bowler quota.

Won 2 World Cups in modern era with that combination

Funny how nobody seems to give it much thought.
 
Hardik surprisingly did poorly today

Usually big game player maybe will step up with bat
 
Australia have batted in a much better way compared to India in WC'23 Finals on a slow/tricky pitch! (20-30 runs extra is always good) Australia's game to lose this. India will be again under immense pressure chasing this total...
 
It's Carey or bust for Australia now. He could be the difference maker if he manages to play out remaining overs
 
290+ was on easily… but Maxwell ruined it. Smith too ate dozen too many balls and didnt bat till the end. Carey really held the innings with the right scoring rate, in the end!

The World Cup win in Australia was expected with that pace-attack. But the one in India is something I never could have expected with essentially one proper spinner. Eventhough Zampa is one of the best in the business.
 
Australia 248/7 after 47

How many can Carey smash in final 3?

Seems like run out
 
OUT

Carey is out trying to pinch a second. What a throw from the deep by Iyer.
 
Aussies have played a lot of foolish cricket: hackish opener, poor shot by Smith and Maxwell and now foolish running

You cannot look at it like that. THey were taking risks from time to time right through the innings. They even got lucky. If they had played like Kane williamson they would have been 140/2 in 40 overs and collapse in the end overs
 
Terrific fielding effort and throw from Namma Iyer Paiyaan!.....Carey can carry himself off the ground now...but great innings, good shots nevertheless
 
No need to take that risky double.

This has a disastrous ending to the innings for Australia.

Definitely went few overs to early. There was plenty of overs left with not many batting to come.
 
Sharma ji bring some fielders inside the circle. They aren't going to slog right away.
 
Bunch of dotties.

This a good over so far from Hardik bhai. Going hard as always
