South Africa should have no ill effects from their whistlestop and, in the end, pointless 18-hour trip to Dubai as they prepare to face New Zealand in Lahore in Wednesday's second semi-final of the Champions Trophy, according to batter Heinrich Klaasen.
New Zealand's Chris Gaffaney and England's Richard Illingworth have been named as on-field umpires for the first 2025 Champions Trophy semifinal between India and Australia in Dubai, said the International Cricket Council (ICC). For Tuesday's semifinal at the Dubai International Stadium, Michael Gough will serve as third umpire, while Andy Pycroft will take up the match referee's duties. Illingworth continues in Dubai, having overseen India's Group A clash with New Zealand in Dubai on Sunday.

Former Indian cricket team player Yograj Singh lashed out at Shama Mohamed for her controversial remark on India captain Rohit Sharma. Yograj didn't mince his words in his reaction to Mohamed's remark on the Indian skipper. He claimed that if he were the prime minister of this country, he would have asked her to "pack her bags and leave the country."
Since the time Axar Patel has been promoted to bat at number five in ODI series against England, it has turned out to be beneficial for him and the Indian team. The move to bat Axar at five paid rich dividends again when he played a crucial 42 off 61 balls in India's 44-run win over New Zealand on Sunday. Ahead of India meeting Australia in the all-important first semi-final of the 2025 Champions Trophy, India skipper Rohit Sharma stated that the improvement shown by Axar as the batter, making him a vital cog in the middle-order wheel, has made for a superb watch.
Former cricketer Surinder Khanna backed India captain Rohit Sharma and said the opening batter has scored plenty of runs with that body weight after a Congress leader called him "fat" on social media. Congress spokesperson Shama Mohamed made the controversial remark during India's Champions Trophy 2025 final Group A match against New Zealand in Dubai on Sunday. Taking to X, she openly referred to the Indian skipper as "fat." “Rohit Sharma is fat for a sportsman! Need to lose weight! And of course, the most unimpressive Captain India has ever had,” Shama wrote in a post on X, which she later deleted following a backlash. Reacting to that, Khanna called such comments "stupid" and said Rohit has a different body type, which has not changed much throughout his career. The veteran also added that one should refrain from such comments and should respect the Indian team skipper.
If there is one clash that Indian cricket fans truly look forward, apart from Pakistan match, is a game against Australia. Both India and Australia have two of the most dominant sides in the last few years. The Border Gavaskar Trophy between the two sides matches viewership of even the biggest sporting events and whenever the two sides face off in the shorter formats, the interest is unprecedented. The time has come again for another India vs Australia classic, this time at the Champions Trophy 2025 semi-finals.
