00:00it is an epic contest india versus australia in the last 15 years the head-to-head record stands
00:06india 23 australia 23 can you ask for more in this first semi-final well that's the news from
00:14the center it's australia who won the toss and they've decided to bat first
00:26we saw even in the earlier games some movement
00:31oh that went straight back just got his fingertips to it
00:38and again well there's a sound there the indians have gone up
00:46he's not interested they've gone up straight away very confident appeal from behind the stumps
00:55okay do take it back one for him and three again please
01:00and yeah things are moving all the way through yeah the ball is clearly carried
01:05clearly carried uh richard uh please address your decision from not out to out
01:13out is the signal and a big edge as well and as misery ends there because he was really struggling
01:19cooper colony
01:23in the air and the gap as well and struck extremely hard
01:29oh lovely shot clear square leg typical travis head
01:39has to hurry a direct hit was needed
01:45west indies that's put away nicely typical head
01:52just a little bit of room on this occasion and now that he's found the fence a couple of times
02:00lucky that could have gone back onto his stumps instead
02:06more often than not oh what a shot that is that's probably one of the best he's played so far
02:15this was hit hard
02:20now steve smith don't think he's hit it as well as he normally does but it's got enough on it
02:25to get to the boundary so australia
02:31out of nowhere conjures another boundary just the timing on that is incredible
02:41a lot of time to play that shot the timing is exquisite the length is good enough
02:51could you think there's something there but care isn't too interested i think it's 14
02:55tosses in a row now that india have lost in one day international allowed him
03:00right he's gone over the infield he's the last over with a field restriction so smith has decided to take
03:06on the baller before
03:10oh onto the stumps but the bail does not come off that hit the stump hard
03:17oh beautifully played beautifully played just a delicate late cut using the pace of akshar patel
03:25and again this one is nailed much better
03:32there we go there we go that's the first one that's what you got to watch out for jadeja you
03:37watch him
03:39shimmy now as he nicked that as he nicked it bowler and keeper go up
03:47the man they've got to convince is the skipper
03:53well india were hoping that something would happen
03:56of shami's six deliveries well he has created a couple of opportunities very close to the bat but
04:01maybe not caught behind
04:07nothing on the glove either miles from the glove so now fine leg goes back and mid on comes back
04:12up
04:13well a tight spell so far four was for eleven that's changed because he's got hold of this one
04:30he's so accurate like he said last over the ball spun this one just skid straight through
04:38was it missing leg
04:43richard hillingworth he went straight up he had no doubts jadeja is the man again india get the big
04:50wicked of manas labashane partnership broken he goes for 29 australia 110 for three
05:05and goes through the batter straight away and
05:13oh lovely shot
05:16absolute class on it
05:22and he puts that in the gap again excellent use of putting away a bad ball he got a short
05:28ball
05:28but straight away boundary
05:36this time there's a fielder
05:3950 comes up
05:41and a very fine 52 to steve smith is holding this innings together now 50 of 68
05:54this just tells you why he's such a good player playing such a good innings
06:00i don't think he overheated
06:02catching
06:04oh and the wicket
06:08every time you get the feeling a partnership develops there's a wicket there's a wonderful cat and mouse cricket match
06:20just never quite gets to him virak goal he takes a simple catch
06:28partnership of 34 of just 27 deliveries broken
06:35english goes for 11 it's 144 for four
06:45i'm not sure he was in complete control of that but all he had to do was clear the infield
06:56keep the scoreboard ticking keep the scoreboard ticking just had to beat the man at 45
07:04that's a good strike there's no one there and even if there was someone there you would have been a
07:10spectator
07:12beautifully timed
07:17and he's picking his spots he's playing the field at the moment alex carry
07:26oh lovely shot i just said he was playing the field this is magnificent from carry
07:34oh that's uh extremely well played first ball after the break
07:40oh lovely shot
07:43just the timing uh of coming down the track was so good
07:47we had a big bandier couldn't adjust
07:52bonnie
07:54could see what smith was trying he wanted to go through the offside
07:58and he misses it
08:01just what india needed
08:03he did come down the pitch but it was a full toss by the time that it passed him
08:09he was eyeing up extra cover the man out is very square
08:13smith was eyeing up the extra cover boundary but india needed that
08:17this was starting to become a damaging partnership
08:22shammy that has uh given rohit the key wicket here
08:27calling steve smith australia's captain to 73 198
08:37six for maxwell and easier
08:43six and out
08:47so so maxwell if you're to summarize maxwell's career in two balls there it was in front of you
08:55yes the first ball was aimed at his parents because uh
08:59actually maybe restrict for the back swing
09:02but it didn't work went for a huge six
09:05this one slightly slower also maybe just a little bit shorter
09:10and it was a nothing shot you can see the bat uh handle the grip coming off it really was
09:16a nothing
09:16shot from maxwell playing right across the line
09:19that's a big wicked because maxwell can take the game away from
09:22any team he's gone for seven six out 205
09:31oh he's just coming from there he's playing the field well here gary
09:35yeah you asked the question how he's got to play here
09:50right so that is 50. for a minute it might be a leg by well played
09:55very well played alex gary he didn't react either when he was running
10:03right watchers that's cleared the boundary
10:10said a little while ago he's got a reputation for hitting big ones
10:16for the edge they had a slip earlier not that it might have been caught but that's running away
10:20very quickly on this outfield for four
10:26swings on the onside straight down the throat of deep midwagon
10:35was the man there yeah he's been good today chakravati another googly
10:41door she's just not connecting
10:45just trying to punch it in the gap
10:48trez iron makes no mistake simple catch in the deep
10:52appreciated by the skipper
10:55once again partnership of 34 they just couldn't get it going
11:00door just goes for 19 it's 239 for seven
11:05oh that's smart that's smart one bounce over the rope and he picked a spot nicely
11:18it's a great follow-up
11:21let's go his fingers going up he's quick richard
11:24and no mistakes zampa has gone up
11:28okay freeze there please okay we have paul on bat and also a spike on ultra edge richard
11:37so big inside edge 47 gone to 48 percent
11:45steps it around the corner and he's running
11:49he's gone directed
11:54sri asaya again
11:57that's brilliant from india
11:59it was he was slightly slow to get going and carrie saw he was slow
12:05and it was almost as if he was bluffing him take a run if you want to come back for
12:09two
12:11and he had two and a half stumps to aim at and even though
12:15keira hall was waiting for the throw he did not even use him
12:27bang way out
12:32india's fielding has been good carrie played beautifully but he's gone
12:3649 for seven oh that's well struck it's gone the distance
12:46swings again this time coley takes it in the deep
12:53straight to the man there number nine goes down
12:58and shami's done his last delivery of this semi-final ends with a wicket he ends with figures
13:04the three for 48 a shake of the head because that slower ball got dispatched for six
13:11the very next delivery it's in the slot again
13:14comes off the toe end of the bat and the raccoli is not dropping that
13:23australia nine down 262 for nine ellis made 10
13:32the australian innings has come to an end they've been bowled out for 264
13:40been bowled out with three balls to spare
13:46good changes of pace from hardic pandia as well
13:49bowled a lot of cutters and a lot of slower balls this one was seam up top of off stump
14:00excellent death bowling there from india they have dragged it back but runs on the board in a
14:06semi-final australia made 264 in his set up perfectly there you go australia winning the toss
14:13batting first 264 the innings revolving around steve smith 73 double sheng made 29
14:20first ball of the run chase
14:23a little bit of shape it has swung a little bit more here in dubai than the other venues
14:31and that fine leg was wide for the pull shot and rowit has tickled it fine for the first boundary
14:41chipped doesn't try overhead it may not go for four
14:47but rowit will stroll back for three
14:54no you can't bowl there you cannot bowl there to rowit shana back of the length short you will
15:01disappear you have disappeared
15:07short now has that carry did that carry
15:12cooper connelly did he get his fingers just underneath it
15:20carried yes sir and not that difficult either
15:28time to the back can mid off get there can mid off get there no
15:34lavashane rowit sharma has been put down twice
15:38in two overs cooper connelly then minus lavashane
15:45down the pitch and fast hands from shudmangil seriously fast hands
15:54now a little sweep shot inside edge not where he was intending but he'll take it
16:06out of the back to the back to the back to the back to the back to the back to
16:07the back
16:07oh dragged on an inside edge and australia have their first and gill goes
16:14big moment the washers who was good with the bat he was in the contest with the bat
16:20now with the ball
16:25shudmangil just trying to steer this one down the third man
16:31and a little chop on we saw a number of australian batters get away with that this evening but not
16:37the dangerous shudmangil
16:42a very handy wicket inside this power play number one
16:48gone for eight it's 30 for one
17:05belted belted belted and the only one in danger there was the umpire
17:11absolutely nailed we agree 39 for one
17:20oh that's close the finger has gone up it looked out
17:24full delivery he's missed it all together and cooper connelly
17:29original decision is out pitching in line impact in line and hitting the wickets chris
17:35so still the original decision out standby
17:40on screen chris signal out well what a big moment this is india's captain looking to sweep a ball it
17:46was
17:46too full to sweep and well done that young man you can't quite see him there because he's right
17:52in the middle of that huddle of australia but uh he struggled with the bat he put down a catch
17:59he
17:59must have been feeling the pressure and the strain when he was asked to come on earlier in the piece
18:03just the eight over
18:09that's well played well struck pitched for the run and bang down the ground by viraj goli that'll end
18:16the over it's 47 for two
18:21well that was in the air wide of slip and into the fence
18:25the flash hard there really is no need for india to start worrying about the run rate because it's still
18:33under five under six
18:38it's a full toss by the way easy pickings
18:50good placement the race away
18:57that's close now was he struck in line they're just gonna have a chat
19:03line looked good but where did it strike him
19:18well it's gone fine i think it's got enough on it to get to the boundary
19:27now that's in the gap now from time to time if you can take a boundary of the lead bowler
19:32that's gold
19:3450 comes up for viraj goli 53 balls just four boundaries it's a typical viraj goli run chase so far
19:43yeah i mean he's a giant he's a genius when it comes to chasing down totals
19:49so clear in his mind what he wants to do
19:53in the air and put down
19:57maxwell one of the best in the world that's three chances put down from australia 134 for two
20:07yeah
20:07all gone straight up quicker and zampa has the breakthrough that australia needed
20:15it's in these little moments here that australia can really wrestle back any kind of momentum
20:21i know india bat big bat deep
20:27but that right there is how you fight back and strias are dangerous
20:37short ball not tamed midwick it well i think he's done very well
20:45drag down and coley is too good a player to miss out on that he puts it away with ease
20:54hard sweep big sweep slog sweep all the way for six
21:03now close very close from around the wicket
21:08from around the wicket that's got to be tight
21:12okay
21:20yeah just take it back please on screen signal
21:24up and over extra cover
21:30two fielders out there right in the middle of them another boundary for akshar patel
21:40ball name as we were praising him
21:44the singers light up and australia see a little bit of hope
21:51that's been his role in this partnership but ellis from around the wicket the ball just skidding on
21:57the kind of length that has just rocked back the top of the off stump delight for english
22:04and for ellis a wicket that australia badly needed
22:09they're still in this game they still have hope india 178 for four
22:18we'll beat the field of the floor that might take the pressure off
22:22boundary came after 39 ball scale rawl using his speed beautifully
22:28clears the infield
22:31yet another boundary nasir usain is spot on he sensed it right away and mid wicket
22:39you're straight and time set as he timed it well enough fielder will watch it sail over for six
22:44change of gears from kehel rahul he did not care that mid-off was back mid-on was back
22:53now koly finds the fielder what on earth have we just seen
23:00especially when the pressure had been released and kehel was saying at the other end i've just hit a six
23:04in
23:05this over i think it was because koly picked the wrong one he picked the googly and backed it to
23:10go
23:10over mid-wicket but in fact all he did was fine long on yeah tells the story there it's been
23:18a fine
23:19innings make no mistake it's been an outstanding innings 84 of 98 he's just might be have left australia in
23:26the
23:26game a little bit koly goes it's two two five for five
23:33they think they think they're onto something the baller keeper didn't seem as excited
23:37the baller was charging down thinking there might have been an edge
23:45goes straight and goes long goes very very long
23:49dot dot dot dot and then the runs for the over
23:55and right in front of the side screen that's up in the air it's six
24:06it normally stays hit when he
24:09and again six ball this is even bigger
24:15he's peppering the royal box
24:17now dick bandier just 12 needed from 18
24:25that's one
24:30just making it to the rope
24:39should be out
24:41man a drop back to long long
24:43so glenn maxwell takes a straightforward chance
24:46i think bandier looking to uh finish it off with a six
24:51doesn't quite time it
24:56seen a little bit of reverse happening
24:58nathan ellis making use of the reverse swing keeping it as
25:00close to the battle as possible
25:02arctic bandier not finding room
25:04but still going ahead with that shot that glory shot that he was looking for
25:08for a well-made 28 with a cup with three big sixes
25:13down the track finish it off what a six
25:18so india went by four wickets
25:21and they are into the final of the champions trophy
25:25and the first team to do so
25:27and this is the highest successful chase
25:29versus australia in a knockout match of an icc one day international tournament
25:35so it's been the dominant side from start to finish
25:44and the dressing room will be delighted because in india australia game is always a contest
25:49the fifth time india has reached the final of the icc champions trophy more than any other side which
25:55has played this tournament roid sharma happy man and so will kail raul
25:58he's played a very very good knock here 42 not out but it matters most
26:03virad kohli extremely elated and understandably so what a match-winning knock that was
26:08karthik bandha making his emotions come through as well this india team has fought hard they've been
26:13the best team so far they've found a way to reach another final
26:18so there you go india winning by four wickets
