Aakhir Tak – In Depth
The Champions Trophy semi-final between India and Australia promises to be an exciting contest. The match will be played in Dubai, and India enters the game with excellent form. This India vs Australia encounter could be a thrilling battle. India has been performing well and defeated Bangladesh, Pakistan, and New Zealand in the group stage. Meanwhile, Australia struggles with player injuries and unavailability.
Australia lost five of their last six matches leading up to the tournament. Australia’s performance in this Champions Trophy hasn’t been exceptional. They won against England, but their matches against South Africa and Afghanistan were washed out due to rain.
Team News: More Trouble for Australia?
India faces no fresh injury concerns. Rohit Sharma has a selection dilemma whether to stick with four spinners like in the previous match or not. On the other hand, Australia’s problems seem endless. Big players like Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Marcus Stoinis are already missing. Now, Matthew Short is also injured.
Steve Smith mentioned the possibility of including an additional spinner in the team. Tanveer Sangha (wrist-spinner) and Cooper Connolly (left-arm spinner) could get a chance.
Head-to-Head Record: India 7-10 Australia
India and Australia have met 18 times in major tournaments. Australia has won 10 matches. In knockout matches, both teams are tied, with three wins each out of six encounters.
Pitch Report: Spin to Dominate in Dubai?
The pitch in Dubai is expected to favor spin bowlers. India has effectively used spinners in their recent matches. Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Varun Chakravarthy have bowled exceptionally.
Key Matchups
- Steve Smith vs Rohit Sharma: The strategic battle between both captains will be worth watching.
- Travis Head vs Varun Chakravarthy: Will Varun Chakravarthy be effective against Travis Head?
- Shreyas Iyer vs Adam Zampa: Zampa will attempt to restrain Shreyas in the middle overs.
- Hardik Pandya vs Nathan Ellis: Ellis’s variations in the death overs could trouble Hardik.
Predicted Playing XI
- India: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Varun Chakravarthy.
- Australia: Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Steve Smith (captain), Marnus Labuschagne, Cooper Connolly, Alex Carey (wk), Glenn Maxwell, Ben Dwarshuis, Tanveer Sangha, Adam Zampa, Spencer Johnson.
India has a superior bowling attack and batting lineup. Therefore, India has a higher chance of winning. If India sets a target of 270 while batting first, it will be difficult for Australia. If Australia sets a target above 270, Steve Smith will have high expectations from his team.
