Australia captain Steve Smith dismissed claims that India had an advantage in the Champions Trophy by playing all matches in Dubai. After losing to India in the semi-final, Smith admitted his team was outplayed. He said India deserved the win as they played better cricket. Australia, after winning the toss, aimed for 300 runs but fell short at 264. Smith believed they needed stronger partnerships. Dropped catches also hurt Australia, allowing India to chase the target comfortably. Smith accepted the loss, saying mistakes happen in cricket, and India was the better team on the day.
