The Champions Trophy 2025, is currently ongoing in Pakistan and Dubai where most teams have played 2 matches each and considering the semifinalist of both groups- New Zealand and India(Qualified already) & South Africa and Australia(Most Importantly will qualify) in the semifinals.
Considering the way, India and Australia have fared, they look most probably the candidates to play final.
Australia certainly looks rock solid to qualify, as possible semifinalist and top spot contenders from Group B along with South Africa will most likely face India and New Zealand in the semifinal.
Men in Blue looks confident to pull up victories against Black Caps in Dubai and the only reason would be the way they would acclimatize the conditions pretty well as compare to New Zealand.
India would certainly finish at the top of Group A so they might face mighty Australia.
However on the given day. the one who will emerge winner against other will depend not only on skills, tactics but the one who will absorb pressure pretty well in the crunch phase of the game will emerge winner of this important contest.
India is certainly one of the front runners to win tournament and we will dive deep into details of Indian team performance to be shared in the below format but you can’t simply write off Australia out of any marquee event.
Men in Blue Performance in ICC Events in last 3 years is simply phenomenal as they have either finished as semifinalist, finalist and winner in some events.
2022 T20 World Cup: Semifinal
2023 World Cup: Finalist
2023 Asia Cup: Winner
2024 T20 World Cup : Winner
2025 Champions Trophy: Semifinalist(as of now)
If you look closely, India have been consistent in ICC events and the biggest reason would be amount of bench strength we posses as team.
The other reason certainly belongs to right selection of players in distinct conditions makes them invincible side.
The bowling lineup along with spinners makes them an absolute superpower.
Indian batting lineup including the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli & Hardik Pandya and Shubman Gill can dismantle any bowling lineup in the world.
Overall if India vs Australia happens it will be great contest for fans to witness.
