Mohammed Shami Stops Steve Smith From Getting 100: Australian Cricket Team captain and batter Steve Smith has been dismissed by Mohammed Shami, falling short of a century. This was Shami’s second wicket in this match.

The India vs Australia match in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is the first semifinal of this eight-team competition. This match is being played in the Dubai International Stadium and saw the Aussies win the toss and decide to bat first.

India has played all of their games in this tournament in this very stadium, where bowlers get a lot of help from the pitch. They won all three of their games in Group A to finish on top, winning their games against Bangladesh, Pakistan, and New Zealand. Meanwhile, Australia, who played all their games on Pakistan’s batting-friendly pitches, placed second in Group B as they won their match against England, while matches against South Africa and Afghanistan were washed away. The IND vs AUS live match will be the first knockout match of this competition.

Australia came out to bat first as Travis Head opened with youngster Cooper Connolly. Connolly struggled in the beginning and got out for a duck when he was caught behind off Mohammed Shami’s delivery in the third over.

From this point, Head partnered up with Steve Smith to give the Indian bowling lineup some trouble. Travis Head scored 39 off 33 before getting out to Varun Chakravarthy in the ninth over, getting caught on long on by Shubman Gill.

Captain Steve Smith then took charge of anchoring the inning. He, along with Marnus Labuschagne, then batted together for about 15 overs before, in the 23rd over, Marnus was caught in front of the wicket by Ravindra Jadeja.

For all this time, Smith was troubling the Indian bowling, scoring runs, and surviving some good chances. He first scored his 50 and then seemed to head towards his 100.

After getting to his personal score of 70, it only seemed like a matter of time before he would reach into the triple digits. But Mohammed Shami had different plans. As in the 37th over, he bowled a yorker that Smith looked to walk down the crease but missed the ball and was bowled, getting out for 73 off 96, and the team score was 198/5.

The Indian Cricket Team will look to restrict Australia to something below the 280-run mark. The winner of this match will face New Zealand or South Africa in the final and will be the favourite to lift the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 trophy.
