India have made Dubai a fortress since insisting that they play all of their matches of the 2025 Champions Trophy there instead of Pakistan. They made it three wins from three there on Sunday in an impressive win over New Zealand to ensure they topped Group A — their quartet of spinners taking nine Black Caps scalps between them after Shreyas Iyer's ship-steadying 79.
That booked them a rematch of the 2024 World Cup final, with Australia heading to the UAE to face them. With two games rained off, it's hard to know exactly how good the Aussies are without their trio of experienced seamers. But they came through with an impressive win against England, largely thanks to a superb maiden ODI century from Josh Inglis.
Will India taste sweet revenge on Tuesday, or will the Aussies ruin the party once again? Below is all the information you need to live stream India vs Australia and watch cricket online or on TV.
