IND vs AUS Match: India and Australia, the two big powerhouse teams, are all set for a clash at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in the first Semi-finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, aiming for a berth in the finals of the tournament. 
It has been 16 months since November 2023, but hardly any Indian would have moved on from the 19th of November! Yes, India became the World T20 Champions, but the hit of the home ODI World Cup was something different. India is up against a similar opponent and in the same format.
Australia won the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, and they are the most recent team to win an ICC ODI tournament. However, with a depleted side now, they aren't as strong as they were in the 2023 season. Batting still looks formidable and strong; the fast bowlers don't have experience, which limits Australia's advantage. Nevertheless, Australia managed to defeat England by 5 wickets.

India, on the other hand, is in red-hot form, with Batters scoring runs and bowlers taking wickets. India has been undefeated in this tournament till now and again, they have Australia in the knockouts.
It is a high-stakes contest and is going to be an exciting one. Let's take a look at the Squads and Playing11s of the teams:
<h2>IND vs AUS: Squads and Playing11s</h2>
India Squad: Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy, Rishabh Pant, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana
India Probable Playing11: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Varun Chakaravarthy
Australia Squad: Jake Fraser-McGurk, Travis Head, Steven Smith(c), Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis(w), Alex Carey, Glenn Maxwell, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Spencer Johnson, Sean Abbott, Aaron Hardie, Tanveer Sangha, Cooper Connolly
Australia Probable Playing11: Travis Head, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis, Alex Carey, Glenn Maxwell, Ben Dwarshius, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Spencer Johnson
<h3>Team News </h3>
India are expected to stick with their current XI, though Rohit Sharma has not confirmed whether Varun Chakaravarthy will continue as the fourth spinner, with the final decision depending on the pitch of the IND vs AUS match. A change involving Arshdeep Singh replacing Mohammed Shami is unlikely despite Shami’s struggles in the Champions Trophy.

On the other hand, Australia must find a replacement for Matthew Short, with Jake Fraser-McGurk being a probable choice for the top order, though Short’s off-spin will be missed. Given Dubai’s conditions, Cooper Connolly might be considered, while Tanveer Sangha could also be an option if Australia opts to adjust their bowling attack by sacrificing a pacer.
<h2>IND vs AUS: HOT Picks for Dream11 Team</h2>
Shubman Gill- Champions Trophy 2025: 149 runs in 3 matches  India's vice-captain kicked off the tournament with a century but couldn't convert his starts in the following games. However, he remains in good touch, making him a strong fantasy pick.  
Shreyas Iyer- Champions Trophy 2025: 150 runs in 3 matches A key performer in India's middle order, Shreyas Iyer has been in excellent form, delivering consistent performances. His recent knocks make him a must-have selection.
Axar Patel- Champions Trophy 2025: 53 runs &amp; 4 wickets in 3 matches As a reliable all-rounder, Axar Patel has contributed with both bat and ball whenever needed. His versatility makes him a crucial pick for fantasy teams.  
Glenn Maxwell- Champions Trophy 2025: 32 runs &amp; 2 wickets in 2 matches Maxwell has shown flashes of his brilliance in the tournament and thrives in high-pressure games. He could be a valuable differential pick.  
Adam Zampa- Champions Trophy 2025: 4 wickets in 2 matches The Australian leg-spinner hasn’t hit peak form yet, but the conditions in Dubai could work in his favor, making him an important selection.  
<h2>High Risk, High Reward Picks</h2>
Travis Head- Champions Trophy 2025: 65 runs in 2 matches The Australian opener hasn't fully found his rhythm, but he has a strong record against India. Given his ability to deliver in crucial matches, he could turn out to be a game-changer.  
Jake Fraser-McGurk Though yet to feature in the tournament, Fraser-McGurk is an explosive batter capable of shifting momentum in a matter of overs. His attacking style makes him a high-risk but potentially rewarding fantasy option.
<h2>IND vs AUS Match Dream11 team:</h2>
Wicketkeepers- Josh Inglis
Batters- Rohit Sharma, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli/ Shreyas Iyer
All Rounders- Glenn Maxwell, Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya
