India will face Australia in the first semifinal of the Champions Trophy 2025 in Dubai. Both teams were among the most consistent teams in the league stage.

IND vs AUS: Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The tracks in Dubai have become difficult for batting with each game and we can expect the trend to continue. The surface will have some early help for speedsters before spinners come into play. Batting might get tough in the second innings, so teams winning the toss might elect to bat first.

A temperature of around 28°C, with no threat of rain, is the forecast.
