The two titans last met in an ODI game back in 2023, when Australia bested India at home to clinch the Men’s Cricket World Cup.

Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul put on a late show to take India through to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Final in a tense run-chase against Australia.

The pair formed a sixth-wicket partnership while the result was still in the balance, with India on 225/5 and still requiring 40 more runs from the remaining 44 balls for victory.
