India vs Australia Semi-Final LIVE Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Rohit Sharma Survives Narrowly as India Chase Never-Done-Before Feat

IND vs AUS LIVE: SIX and then DROPPED!

There comes the trademark pull shot from the bat of Rohit Sharma. Nathan Ellis bowled it short outside off-stump and Rohit picked it away for a biggie. Oh, Rohit gets a life on the very next ball. The fielder there at backward square leg has put the catch down.

IND 13/0 (1.3)

IND vs AUS LIVE: FOUR!

Fuller ball onto the pads of Rohit Sharma has flicked it away for a four. The fine leg was sqaure and that saw the ball comfortably running away for a four through the region. This is a good start for Rohit Sharma and India.

IND 4/0 (0.2)

IND vs AUS LIVE: Chase begins!

Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill walk into the ground and so do the Australia players. Rohit takes the strike, Gill is at the other end. Ben Dwarshuis has the new ball in hand. Here we go…

India vs Australia Live: A challenging total!

Indian bowlers were persistent but well-paced fifties from Steve Smith and Alex Carey carried a largely profligate Australia to a slightly sub-par 264 all out in the Champions Trophy semifinal. The pitch has definitely played bit better than the last game at the venue that saw India comfortably defending 249 vs New Zealand. This means Rohit Sharma and co. have a challenging total on the board.

IND vs AUS LIVE: Great knocks by Carey, Smith

Alex Carey and Steve Smith were the best batters for Australia, while Labuschagne and Head also added some significant scores. Credit to Carey, in particular, for the way he performed under pressure. 

IND vs AUS LIVE: Bowling figures

Mohammed Shami – 3/48. Varun Chakravarthy – 2/49. Ravindra Jadeja – 2/40. India’s three standout bowlers today, without doubt.

India have been the team to beat so far in Champions Trophy 2025. Over to Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli and co. to do the business.

IND vs AUS LIVE: Advantage India?

265 will be the highest total that India have to chase down in the 2025 Champions Trophy, but they will fancy their chances. With a deep batting order, right up to Jadeja at No. 8, India have enough firepower to pull through.

IND vs AUS LIVE: Not a bad total

Australia will certainly feel that they could’ve made 300, given the foundation they had. However, 264 is a respectable total, and the Australian bowlers will have something to defend here. 

IND vs AUS LIVE: 264 ALL OUT

Pandya strikes! Australia all out for 264. Hardik Pandya knocks off Adam Zampa with a brilliant cutter. Given that they were 198/4 at one stage, Australia may be slightly unhappy with the final total. But they can fight with this.

IND vs AUS LIVE: Pandya to bowl the last over

Hardik Pandya will bowl the final over of the innings. Can Australia get 270? It is Adam Zampa and Tanveer Sangha at the crease.

AUS 263/9 (49.1)

IND vs AUS LIVE: Brilliant spell by Shami

Mohammed Shami has bowled brilliantly today. Kept the pressure on, given crucial wickets. Steve Smith’s wicket in the 37th over was a huge moment, otherwise Australia could’ve piled on 300+ today. Ends with figures of 3/48 in 10 overs.

AUS 262/9 (49)

IND vs AUS LIVE: 6, and then OUT

Nathan Ellis goes big! Middles it, sends it high and handsome. Very, very good hit by the tailender. That hit takes Australia past 260. Next ball, Mohammed Shami gets him! Ellis goes for the same big hit, but this time picks out Virat Kohli at long-on.

IND vs AUS LIVE: Good over for India

Only 4 runs off the 48th over, bowled by Hardik Pandya. Any over without a boundary is great news for Team India at this stage. Mohammed Shami will now finish his quota from the other end. He has been great today.

AUS 253/8 (48.1)

IND vs AUS LIVE: Top stuff by Iyer

Shreyas Iyer run in and arrowed in the throw from the fine leg region. Excellent work. He had already taken a catch earlier. Now, a brilliant piece of fielding. With Carey gone, that could set Australia back by at least 20 runs here.

AUS 250/8 (47.3)

IND vs AUS LIVE: RUN OUT! Carey goes!

Shreyas Iyer, stunning work! Phenomenal throw, straight at the keeper’s end. Alex Carey was scrambling to make it home, but the direct hit comes in at the perfect time. Carey falls well short in the end, and the men in blue celebrate.

End of a brilliant knock by Alex Carey, but Australia aren’t even at 250 yet.

OUT – Alex Carey – run out (Iyer) – 61 (57)

AUS 249/8 (47.1)

IND vs AUS LIVE: Zampa survives!

Oh! Great DRS decision taken by Adam Zampa. Very clear edge before hitting the pad. No third wicket for Shami just yet. Australia near 250. 6 runs off the over by Shami.

AUS 247/7 (47)

IND vs AUS LIVE: OUT!

Shami gets his third! Adam Zampa has to walk back to the dugout. Full and straight, Zampa misses and the umpire raises his finger instantly. Zampa has taken DRS as well.

IND vs AUS LIVE: Clever from Carey!

Full toss, Carey comes across his stumps and scoops it over fine-leg for 4. Excellent thinking once again, Carey continues his brilliant knock. Shami responds with a brilliant wide yorker, and Carey takes a tumble.

AUS 247/7 (46.4)

IND vs AUS LIVE: Great spell by Chakravarthy

10 overs done for Varun Chakravarthy. Ends with figures of 2/49. The big, big wicket of Travis Head in the powerplay as well. Safe to say, he has justified his selection in the playing XI.

IND 242/7 (46)

IND vs AUS LIVE: OUT!

Varun Chakravarthy strikes! Ben Dwarshuis departs. Second wicket of the game for Varun, comes in his final over. Dwarshuis tries to go big, doesn’t get the timing, picks out Shreyas Iyer at deep mid-wicket.

IND vs AUS LIVE: 5 overs to go!

5 runs come off the 45th over. Australia now have five more overs to get to a healthy score. A total of 280-290 seems well within reach, after Dwarshuis’ recent blows. Carey staying till the end will be crucial for the Aussies.

AUS 239/6 (45)

IND vs AUS LIVE: Shami back

Mohammed Shami is back. 3 overs left for him in his spell. 45th, 47th and 49th overs to be bowled by him, if things go to plan. Can Shami knock off Carey or Dwarshuis?

AUS 235/6 (44.2)

IND vs AUS LIVE: What can Carey do?

Alex Carey has played a superb knock today. 50 off 48 balls. Now, he holds the key to Australia putting up a big total. Up to 52 off 50 balls now, with six overs to go. 7 come off Varun Chakravarthy’s 9th over.

AUS 234/6 (44)

IND vs AUS LIVE: 4 more, Dwarshuis

Ben Dwarshuis gets the slightest connection, and the ball races away through third man for four. Fielder is too square to get to that. A couple of important hits by Dwarshuis, who needed to get a move on.

AUSA 231/6 (43.1)

IND vs AUS LIVE: Rohit angry on Kuldeep again

Kuldeep Yadav has done the same error again. Does not collect a throw from the deep, and once again gets an unpleasant look from Indian captain Rohit Sharma. Next ball, Ben Dwarshuis clears the ropes! 6! Tossed up, asking to be hit, and Dwarshuis connects very well.

AUS 226/6 (42.3)

IND vs AUS LIVE: 3 off the over

Alex Carey’s runs are drying up a little here. Tight over by Varun. Another 3 runs off it only. India are on the front foot, and Australia will do well here to get to a total above 270.

AUS 217/6 (42)

IND vs AUS LIVE: Bizarre strategy by Australia

Australia cannot afford to waste deliveries here. Ben Dwarshuis is clearly struggling to score freely. It is imperative for the men in yellow that Alex Carey faces most of the balls. Carey on 45 off 42, as it stands.

Varun Chakravarthy to bowl his 8th over now.

AUS 214/6 (41)

IND vs AUS LIVE: Kuldeep bowls

Kuldeep gets the 41st over. Carey takes a single off the second ball, giving the strike back to Dwarshuis. The latter isn’t able to get the runs going at all. Only 1 off the over, Dwarshuis stuck on 3 off 13.

AUS 214/6 (41)

IND vs AUS LIVE: Overs left

Here are the overs left for each India bowler:

Shami – 3

Pandya – 6

Kuldeep – 4

Varun – 3

Axar – 2

Jadeja – 2

IND vs AUS LIVE: 10 overs to go!

40 overs done and dusted. What can Australia put up from here? Alex Carey must do the bulk of the run-scoring and really play a vital innings here to take them towards or above 300. India still on the front foot.

AUS 213/6 (40)

IND vs AUS LIVE: 4!

Carey is still keeping the run rate flowing. Gets another boundary off Axar. Brilliant presence of mind, plays the reverse sweep, picks up 4. Into the 40s now.

AUS 212/6 (39.3)

IND vs AUS LIVE: Another top over by Shami

Mohammed Shami puts the pressure on Ben Dwarshuis. Four dots, before he can get off strike with a single. Finishes the over off brilliantly as well, gives Carey no chance to keep strike.

AUS 207/6 (39)

IND vs AUS LIVE: Match swings in 6 balls

36.4: Smith departs

37.3: Maxwell departs

From 198/4 to 205/6 in the matter of minutes. The tide has turned in this contest.

IND vs AUS LIVE: Advantage India

Ben Dwarshuis can hit a long ball, but he certainly isn’t a recognized batter by any means. Pressure on Alex Carey now, and he’ll have to take a big burden to ensure Australia reach a respectable total. For now, India on the front foot.

AUS 206/6 (38)

IND vs AUS LIVE: MAXWELL GONE!

Axar Patel roars back! Glenn Maxwell is CLEAN BOWLED. Completely misses it, the ball sticks low, and Axar celebrates. Maxwell has to depart for just 7 runs. India in the driver’s seat now.

IND vs AUS LIVE: SIX! Maxwell

200 up for Australia! Huge hit by Glenn Maxwell off Axar Patel. The ‘Big Show’ is up and running.

AUS 205/5 (37.2)

IND vs AUS LIVE: Pressure on Carey-Maxwell

Australia don’t have any more recognized batters after this. In a second, India have pulled the match back towards them again. The partnership between Maxwell and Carey holds huge value for Australia.

AUS 199/5 (37)

IND vs AUS LIVE: Mohammed Shami supreme

Mohammed Shami has been brilliant today. A superb spell at the start, with the wicket of Connolly. Now he has come back and piled the pressure on again. Experience and class at the highest level. 

IND vs AUS LIVE: OUT!

SHAMI GETS SMITH! Huge wicket, crucial moment. Steve Smith tries to come down the track, misses it completely. Shami hits! Massive blow, Smith misses out on his century. Australia lose their fifth wicket.

OUT – Steve Smith – b Shami – 73 (96)

AUS 198/5 (36.4)

IND vs AUS LIVE: Carey on a roll!

Carey treats himself to another boundary off Hardik. Steps down the track, times it beautifully once again. Straight down the ground for 4. Six boundaries and a 6 for Carey already. He is nearing a crucial half-century.

AUS 195/4 (36)
