Champions Trophy: Kohli's 84 Powers India To Third Successive Final With 4-wkt Win Over Australia
ICC Champions Trophy: Virat Kohli's 84, supported by K.L. Rahul's unbeaten 42 and Hardik Pandya's 28-run cameo helped India to a four-wicket win against Australia in the first semifinal of the ICC Champions Trophy at the Dubai International Stadium here on Tuesday.
With this win, India became the first team to qualify for the Champions Trophy final for a third consecutive time. They will now take on the winner of the second semifinal between South Africa and New Zealand in Dubai on March 9. With this win, India also exacted revenge on Australia, whom they had lost in the final of the ODI World Cup in 2023.
Chasing 265, skipper Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill stitched a brief 30-run partnership, with the former playing the role of an aggressor before Ben Dwarshuis cleaned up the latter for 8 in the fifth over. Rohit's knock of 28, which included three fours and a six, was ended by Cooper Connolly in the eighth over. The spinner trapped the Indian captain in front of the stumps to bag a second dismissal for the side in the power-play.
