In response, India’s chase was steady yet strategic. Skipper Rohit Sharma started positively but fell for 28. The real anchor of the innings was, once again, the ever-reliable Virat Kohli. His masterful 84 off 98 balls ensured India remained in control. Shreyas Iyer contributed 45, while Axar Patel played a handy knock of 27. But the game truly swung in India’s favor in the final overs, thanks to Hardik Pandya’s explosive 28 off 24 balls, including two massive sixes that shattered Australia’s hopes. KL Rahul sealed the deal in style, smashing a six to take India over the line with 11 balls to spare.
This victory means India will now face either South Africa or New Zealand in the final, set to take place in Dubai. The team has looked unbeatable so far in the tournament, and with the kind of form Kohli, Rahul, and the bowlers are in, they will be favorites heading into Sunday’s big clash.
What a performance! India has once again shown why they are a dominant force in world cricket. Now, all eyes are on the final—can India lift another ICC trophy? We’ll find out soon!
