The Group stage of the Champions Trophy 2025 will end with the India-New Zealand match tomorrow. After this, the first semi -finals will be played on March 4 and the second semi -finals on 5 March. But so far only three teams have been decided for the semi -finals.
This includes India, New Zealand and Australia. Today, the result of the match between South Africa and England will also decide the fourth team for the semi -finals. But Indian fans are excited to know which team can India face in the semi -finals?
The official announcement has not been made yet, but it is believed that India may face Australia in the first semi -finals. In such a situation, the beat of fans has already increased. Let us explain to you in detail.
How can I compete between India and Australia in the semi -finals?
Two teams Pakistan and Bangladesh have been out of Group ‘A’, while two teams have reached India and New Zealand semi -finals. Only one team from Group B has reached the semi -finals. The England team has already been out of the Champions Trophy. But his last match of the group phase is against South Africa. If South Africa wins this match, it will qualify for the semi -finals. But they also have to take care that they have to win by a big margin of 207+ against England. Otherwise, Afghanistan may have a chance to reach the semi -finals. But the possibilities of the Afghan team are almost negligible.
Know who will compete?
After defeating England, South Africa will get 5 points. It is currently at 3 points. He has won a match and a match was drawn. South Africa has 3 points in this case. As soon as they defeat England, they will get 2 more points and their total points will be 5. In this situation, Australia will be in second place in Group B with four points by winning one match and playing two draws.
Both the Indian team and New Zealand have played two matches each and both have four points each. Both teams will play their last match against each other in the group stage on Sunday. If Team India defeats the Kiwi team, it will remain at number one with 6 points, while New Zealand will have only four points. Group A top team will play Group B’s second team in the semi -finals. In such a situation, there may be a clash between India and Australia in the first semi -finals in Dubai on March 4.
New Zealand and South Africa will face face to face in the second semi-finals.
If everything remains according to the above equation, the second semi -finals may be between South Africa and New Zealand.
