IND vs AUS Match Preview

India will look to avenge their World Cup defeat when they face Australia in the Champions Trophy semi-finals in Dubai. The men in blue won all three of their group stage matches. Australia, on the other hand, won their first game against England while seeking a huge target of 352 runs, but their subsequent games ended in a draw. In their most recent match against Afghanistan, the Australians were leading by 109 runs in the 13th over yet chasing a 276-run target when play was halted due to rain. Travis Head and Matthew Short are in excellent form at the top and could be key players against India.
