India reached the final of the ICC Champions Trophy beating Australia by four wickets in the first semifinal at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. Australia rode half-centuries by skipper Steve Smith and Alex Carey to post a competitive 264 all out at a venue that has typically produced low-scoring contests in the tournament.

India continued their victory march in Champions Trophy 2025 by getting the better of the Australians in the fiirst semifinal of the tournament. India have now advanced to the final of the tournament where they will meet the victor of the second semifinal - to be held between South Africa and New Zealand.

For the last decade or so, Virat Kohli's presence in the middle has always given India a lot of confidence, especially in One-day cricket. On Tuesday, the modern-day batting maestro helped India romp into the final of the Champions Trophy 2025 with a four-wicket win over Australia in the first semifinal.
