India vs Australia
The last group stage match between India and New Zealand was played in Dubai on 2 March at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. In this match, Team India was successful in winning by 44 runs and with this the semi -final schedule of the tournament was fixed. India and New Zealand had already got the semi -final tickets, but this last group stage match made it clear which team will compete with whom. South Africa and Australia managed to move from Group B to the finals.
India topped New Zealand defeat in Group A. Now in the semi -finals, Team India will compete with Australia in Dubai on March 4 while New Zealand will have a challenge of South Africa. New Zealand and South Africa will clash at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on 5 March. After seeing the semi -final schedule, after 10 years, there is a huge coincidence again.
Then the coincidence of amazing
In fact, in 2015, the ICC ODI was played in the year 2015 under the joint host of Australia and New Zealand. The same four teams had reached the semi -finals of this tournament, which has now become the semi -finalist team of ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Interestingly, the semi -final schedule of the Champions Trophy is also exactly what was seen in the 2015 ODI World Cup. India and Australia were confronted in that World Cup while the New Zealand team clashed with South Africa.
Now the question arises which 2 teams will be successful in making it to the finals. If we look at the 2015 World Cup, India had to face defeat to Australia in the semi -finals. At the same time, New Zealand defeated South Africa in the semi -finals to make it to the title match. Then in the final, Australia defeated New Zealand and won the title. That is, there are no good signs for Team India.
Team India will have to retaliate
Even though Australia’s team is not a bowler like Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc this time, the Kangaroo team has often seen dominating Team India in the ICC knockout matches. Since 2015, ICC ODI event has a knockout game or finals with India twice in the final. The Indian team has lost both times. Australia also defeated Team India and became the world champion in the final of ICC ODI World Cup 2023. The pain of this defeat still persecutes Team India and its fans.
