India will look to seek reveng from the ODI World Cup 2023 final loss when they lock horns with Australia at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai in the first semi-final of the ongoing Champions Trophy 2025 on Tuesday (March 4).
The heavyweights of the game have never crossed paths at the Dubai venue in any of the two white-ball formats - ODIs and T20Is or the longest format - Tests. This will be the first-ever India vs Australia clash in Dubai across any format.

India are undefeated in 9 matches at the venue, including the three group stage wins of the Champions Trophy against Bangladesh, Pakistan and most recently against New Zealand. Their most recent win saw them defend a meagre 244 against the Black Caps.
Australia, on the other hand, will be playing at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium for the first time in the Champions Trophy 2025. But the Australian cricket team has travelled to the venue for ODI matches earlier.
Rohit Sharma & Co, however, will take confidence from their unbeaten ODI record at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The Indian team extended their undefeated run in the format at the venue to eight following the win over New Zealand. Here is a look at the two teams' record in Dubai ahead of IND vs AUS Champions Trophy match:
Australia, who have often visited the Dubai venue for away tours of Pakistan, possess a decent record in the stadium in One Day Internationals, having won all four of their recent matches with their only loss coming in 2009. Here is a look at their One Day International numbers in Dubai:
