India vs Australia, champions trophy semi final: The first semi -final of the Champions Trophy 2025 between India and Australia continues. Kangaroo captain Steve Smith has won the toss and decided to bat first. The fun incident took place in the 21st over of the match being played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Australian batsmen were running to take a run but then Indian player Ravindra Jadeja caught him from behind.
Team India started in the match against Australia. Cooper Konoli, who was playing his first ODi, could not show anything amazing and returned to the pavilion at zero. Mohammed Shami gave India the first success. After this, Travis Head once again increased the headache of Team India and fans, but in the first over of Varun Chakraborty, he got trapped and was dismissed for 39 runs.
Jadeja did not let Labushen take runs
Interesting incidents occurred in the 21st over of the Australian batting innings causing mercury high in Dubai. On the ball of Ravindra Jadeja, Steve Smith shot a light hand in the direction of mid -on. Jadeja stopped the ball from the leg but the ball went towards the leg side. Smith felt that he could easily take a single, but Jadeja caught Marnas Labushen, who was trying to escape for a single at the other end. It seemed that he too was going towards the ball, but during this time he caught the Australian batsman and because of this did not score runs. After this, Australian captain Steve Smith looked very angry and expressed displeasure with Labushen and Umpire.
