India put Australia under pressure in the Champions Trophy semifinal, reducing them to 206/6 in 38 overs. Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja played a key role, dismissing Marnus Labuschagne (29) and Josh Inglis (11). Mohammed Shami cleaned up Steve Smith, while Axar Patel removed Glenn Maxwell. Earlier, Shami struck early, removing Cooper Connolly (0), and Varun Chakravarthy dismissed Travis Head (39). The Indian team sported black armbands in honor of domestic cricket great Padmakar Shivalkar, who passed away at 84. Australia, after winning the toss, made two changes, bringing in Connolly and Tanveer Sangha. India retained their previous playing XI. The match remains poised as the innings progresses.
