New Delhi:
India vs australia 1st semi final: In the Champions Trophy, crores of fans around the world are now looking at the first semi-final (India vs Australia) match between India and Australia played on Wednesday. A big Indian class is also calling this match a “mission revenge”. You know that Australia defeated India in the final of the 2023 World Cup. It is true that the brilliant performance of India’s spinners has given the initial advantage to India, but apart from this there are many aspects, which will decide the fate of the team reaching the finals. Let us tell you about 5 such major reasons, which will decide who will play the Champions Trophy Final of the Champions Trophy in Australia and India.
1. Rohit Sharma V/S New Ball
Indian captain Rohit Sharma has been fearless in the first ten overs in ODIs since the 2023 World Cup. In 20 innings, the strike-rate has been 136.8, while he has hit 37 sixes in the first ten overs. This has played an important role in giving a good start to India, especially on difficult pitches. But it is also not hidden that the new moving ball has been a problem for the Indian captain. This is the area where kangaroos can lead to the beginning. His footwork has already slowed down. This year, he has been dismissed in power-play in five of the six ODIs. Three of these have been victims of new ball. In the Champions Trophy too, his score in three matches has been 41, 20, 15 respectively.
2. Travis Head V/S India
As soon as India reached the finals, Travis Head started trending on social media. In big matches, this lab has made India cry a lot. Whether it is the 2023 World Cup or the 2023 Test Championship Final or a century made in Pink-Ball Test in Adelaide. Travis loves playing against team Rohit. In the 11 matches played in all the formats, the head has scored four centuries in addition to an average of 68.20 against India.
3. Adam Jampa V/S Virat Kohli
Leg spinners have regularly harassed Virat Kohli. Jampa has made a big attack in a strong Indian batting line. In the year 2020, Virat’s average against leg spinners was 72.60, which has now fallen to 41.00. In the recent series played against England, Adil Rashid harassed Virat. Kohli played two matches and Adil dismissed him in both of them. Kohli faced Rashid’s 14 balls, but out of this he played 10 balls. He was also seen playing on the backfoot against Abrar Ahmed against Pakistan. In such a situation, Kohli is going to get a big challenge in the form of Jampa. Jampa has dismissed Kohli five times in ODIs. Whenever Kohli tried to score runs against him, Jampa trapped him in the trap
4. Australia veteran V/s Indian spinner
India fed four spinners against New Zealand in XI, while Varun Chakraborty wreaked havoc. This is the area in which India has an advantage before landing in the field because there is no other level spinner in the Kangaroo team except Champa. The New Zealand team could only manage 105 runs for 5 wickets in 11 to 40 overs. During this time his strike-rate was 62.64. And this is the noose in which kangaroo veterans can get caught in the trap of India. After the 2023 World Cup, Smith has been an average of 40.71 against all spinners in 14 innings, while the strike-per has 83.09. On the other hand, Labushen has an average of only 33 and strike-rate 77.28.
5. Bharat V/S Australia Death Over performance
If Australians cross the midl overs, they will have to fight hard in the last ten overs to snatch the match from India. Statistics say that Australia’s strike-rate in the death overs has been 143.72 since 2024. During this time, it is better than any team in ODIs. Josh English has played an important role in this. In the last ten overs since 2024, English has hit five sixes. Maxwell (200.00) and Carrie (132.86) have also been very better. All three have hit 10 sixes together. Now, after the surround of thirty yards of Kangaroo Indian spinners, how can you overcome the extra fielder and comparatively long boundaries, this aspect is also going to be quite decisive.
