The semi-final match of the Champions Trophy will be played between India and Australia today. This match will be played at the Dubai International Stadium from 2.30 pm. The Indian team has never been able to beat the Kangaroos in the knockout of the ICC ODI tournament after 2011. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma and company will face a tough challenge. In this match, captain Rohit himself and veteran Virat Kohli will be the biggest hope of the Indian team.
If the bats of these two work, then the Australian team can be in trouble. However, who can forget that day on 19 November 2023, when both of them could not score big in the final of the ODI World Cup and Team India had to face a crushing defeat? If the Indian team wants to avenge that defeat, then Ro-Ko's bat will have to work. We are telling you the statistics of both in the matches played so far against Australia in the ICC limited overs tournament...
