IND vs AUS Semifinal Playing 11s: India, led by Rohit Sharma, will take on the Steve Smith-led Australia in the all-important semifinal clash of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on March 4 (Tuesday) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. If India defeats Australia, they will move one step closer to securing an ICC title, setting up a Champions Trophy 2025 final clash against either New Zealand or South Africa on March 9.

India will have the 2023 ODI World Cup final in their minds where Australia defeated tournament favourites and hosts India in the final to clinch their sixth World Cup title. When India take the field on Tuesday in Dubai, they will be determined to exact revenge for the heart-breaking ODI World Cup final loss.

India’s Probable Playing 11 For IND vs AUS Semifinal

India's batting has been solid, with in-form Shreyas Iyer and veteran Virat Kohli leading the charge for the Men in Blue. With the slow, dry Dubai pitch expected to favour spin, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy will be the key contenders for the semifinal. After Chakravarthy's impressive performance against New Zealand, Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir may lean towards retaining him as India banks on spin to secure victory.

India Probable Playing 11: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Varun Chakaravarthy

Australia’s Probable Playing 11 For IND vs AUS Semifinal

With Matthew Short ruled out, Australia could opt for a like-for-like replacement in Jake Fraser-McGurk at the top order, though they would miss Short’s off-spin. Given the conditions in Dubai, they might also consider Cooper Connolly, while Tanveer Sangha also remains a viable choice to replace a pacer if the pitch favours spin.

Australia Probable Playing 11: Travis Head, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis, Alex Carey, Glenn Maxwell, Ben Dwarshius, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Spencer Johnson
