India: Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy

Australia: Cooper Connolly, Travis Head, Steven Smith(c), Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis(w), Alex Carey, Glenn Maxwell, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Tanveer Sangha

India vs Australia Live Score: Australia make two changes and add two more spinners apart from Adam Zampa. Cooper Connolly comes in for Matt Short, and Tanvir Sangha comes in for Johnson.

India vs Australia Live Score: Bright and sunny afternoon in Dubai as Rohit Sharma and Steve Smith arrive for the toss. Australia win toss, opt to bat.

India vs Australia Live Score: The dimensions are 77m down the ground, square boundaries - 69m and 62m.

Pitch looks very dry and very cracked. Win the toss and bat first.

India vs Australia Live Score: There has been a narrative of India having venue advantage. However, there is an additional area where India can capitalise, which is the depleted Australian squad. The big names are missing. Famed pace trio - Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Pat Cummins - are not available. Premier all-rounders - Mitchell Marsh, Cameron Green, and Marcus Stoinis - too are not part of the team.

India vs Australia Live Score: Australia's campaign has been hit hard by rain, it shouldn't be the case on Tuesday. As per Accuweather, the forecast predicts zero rain interruptions and the temperature is expected to hover around 25-31 degrees Celsius. However, a bit of a cloud cover can be expected but it shouldn't have any impact on the match.

India vs Australia Live Score: Ravichandran Ashwin speaking on his Hindi YouTube channel 'Ash ki Baat' mentioned a unique approach to handle Travis Head. The spinner, who retired during the last Border-Gavaskar series, said: "Give the new ball to Varun and ask him to bowl over the stumps to Travis Head."

"Travis Head shows all his three stumps and then clears his leg and hit it over the field. Varun Chakravarthy, with a new ball, might give India an edge. It will be a mouth-watering contest."

India vs Australia Live Score: Australia’s group-stage engagements have all been in Pakistan and it remains to be seen how they adjust to a sluggish surface in Dubai, which has a reputation in assisting the spinners. We know how loaded India are in this department in compared to Australia. A look at spinners of both teams:

India: Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy

Australia: Adam Zampa, Tanveer Sangha, Cooper Connolly. In addition, the team also have two part-timers in Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne.

India vs Australia Live Score: Varun Chakaravarthy, who wasn’t even in the original Champions Trophy squad, is the X-factor who could make all the difference. [Read: IND vs AUS, Champions Trophy semi-final preview]

India vs Australia Live Score: Australia have made a change in the squad ahead of the semifinals as they bring in spin bowling all-rounder Cooper Connolly in place of Matthew Short, who has been ruled out of the tournament due to a quad injury.

India vs Australia Live Score: Rohit Sharma has so far lost 13 tosses in a row. Will it be the same today?

India vs Australia Live Score: Travis Head can give India problems like he has done numerous times previously. The explosive batter was the architect behind Australia's World Cup final victory against the Men In Blue. He continued his imperious form against Team India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, helping his side beat the visitors 3-1 in the five-match series.

India vs Australia Live Score: Two individual battles in spotlight

Virat Kohli has been vulnerable against Adam Zampa, who has dismissed the batter five times - more than any other Indian batsmen.

Rohit Sharma, too, has struggled against left-arm pacers and Australia have two in their ranks - Spencer Johnson and Ben Dwarshuis.

India vs Australia Live Score: A narrative has built of India getting an advantage by playing at the same city and venue, while other participating nations had to travel across Pakistan and some to Dubai. Here's what Indian skipper Rohit Sharma had to say about it:

"Every time, the pitch is giving you different challenges. The three matches that we played here, the pitch has behaved differently. This is not our home, this is Dubai. We don't play so many matches here, and this is new for us too."

India vs Australia Live Score: The last time the two met in an ODI was in the 2023 World Cup final. We all know what happened then and it has been well over a year but it still makes rounds anytime a cricket conversation is imitated in a room. India will now look to settle the score in Dubai.

India vs Australia Live Score: A detailed look at the head-to-head stats between the two teams

India have a 57-84 win-loss record against Australia in ODIs

Since 2010 it has been 23-each

However, in the ICC ODI competitions Australia lead 10-7

But in the Champions Trophy India have a 2-1 advantage, though the last win was so long ago – in Nairobi in 2000 – that the tournament even had a different name, the ICC Knockout

India vs Australia Live Score: The match will be played in a new track as reported by Cricbuzz. However, the nature of the pitch in Dubai has been on the slower side, so we can expect it to be the same for this tie. Spinners should get some assist as the match progresses and pacers need to use their variations well.
