A Night of Drama: India Holds Nerve to Enter the Final
In a high-octane clash that kept fans on the edge of their seats, India triumphed over Australia by 4 wickets to secure a spot in the final. Chasing a competitive total posted by the Aussies, India’s batting line-up saw moments of tension but eventually powered through, thanks to key performances by both bat and ball.

Match Summary: IND vs AUS, Champions Trophy Semi-final
| Date | Format | Venue | Result |
| 4 March 2025 | ODI | Dubai Int’l Stadium, Dubai | India won by 4 wickets |
With this win, India advances to the Champions Trophy Final, aiming to clinch another ICC title and solidify their position as one of the most dominant cricketing forces in the modern era.
Who scored 67 balls and 224 runs?
No player has scored 224 runs in 67 balls in international cricket — yet. This might be a misquoted stat or a viral rumor. However, in professional T20 or ODI history, scoring at that strike rate is extremely rare.
The confusion might stem from David Warner’s explosive 224 in a Test innings or Glenn Maxwell’s blistering ODI double century (201* off 128 balls) against Afghanistan in 2023. But no official record shows a 224 in 67 balls.
If such a feat ever happens, it would certainly go down as the fastest and most destructive innings in cricket history. As of now, it’s fiction, not fact.
Who won most in IND vs. AUS?
The India vs Australia rivalry is one of cricket’s most storied battles, with decades of history across formats:
Head-to-Head Records (as of October 2025):
- Tests:
- Australia leads overall, having won more matches.
- Recent Series (2024–25): Australia won 4 out of 5 Tests.
- ODIs:
- Fairly even, with Australia holding a slight edge historically.
- However, India has won more ICC tournament knockouts against Australia in recent years (including the 2023 World Cup semi-final and now the 2025 Champions Trophy semi-final).
- T20Is:
- India has a better T20I record against Australia in the last 5 years.
So, while Australia has historically won more matches overall, India has dominated the big-stage ICC events recently, making this rivalry increasingly competitive.
Is IND vs AUS 5th Test a pink ball test?
No, the 5th Test of the India tour of Australia 2024–25, held from January 3–5, 2025, at the Sydney Cricket Ground, was not a day-night (pink ball) Test.
Details of the Match:
- Match: 5th Test, India Tour of Australia 2024–25
- Venue: Sydney Cricket Ground

- Result: Australia won by 6 wickets
Among the five-match Test series:
- All matches were day Tests, as per the schedule released by Cricket Australia.
- None were designated as pink-ball matches.
Although Australia pioneered pink-ball Tests, especially in Adelaide, this series stuck with traditional red-ball Tests.
