India and Australia will face each other in the first semifinal match of the Champions Trophy 2025 on Tuesday (March 4). The match between the two star-studded teams, which also played in the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup, is scheduled to take place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. India and Australia are arguably the two best teams in ICC events across formats, and they have faced each other 25 times so far.
India enjoy a lead over Australia in the Champions Trophy and T20 World Cup, whereas in the ODI World Cup and World Test Championship final, Australia edge India in head-to-head records.
Ahead of the first semifinal of the Champions Trophy 2025, here’s a look at India’s record in ICC events against Australia:
ODI World Cup (5-9)
