India M vs Australia M, IML 2025 Semi-Final Highlights: IND hammer AUS by 94 runs, reach final

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: As easy a catch as it comes for Yusuf Pathan, Australia four down inside the first seven overs! Stuart Binny strikes in his first over. Dan Christian trying a biggie off the fourth ball of the seventh, it goes off the sticker of the bat and Pathan takes an easy catch.

Australia 54/4 in 6.4 overs

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Top edge and a straightforward catch for wicketkeeper Ambati Rayudu. Shahbaz Nadeem strikes. Dunk gets down on a knee and tries to sweep. The ball pops up off the top edge. So Dunk and Watson, Australia’s two most prolific batters by some margin in this tournament, are back in the hut inside the powerplay.

Australia 49/3 in 5.4 overs

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Both of Australia’s openers back in the hut within the powerplay. Marsh tries to go over mid-on but gets none of the contact he would’ve liked really. Yuvraj takes a few steps to his right and completes the catch.

Marsh c Yuvraj b Vinay Kumar 21(15)

Australia 47/2 in 4.4 overs

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Dhawal Kulkarni not having a good time of it at the moment. Ben Dunk has been in good form and he starts off with a six. A four for Marsh off the fourth and then another boundary last ball for Dunk. Marsh on 14 off 10, Dunk on 12 off four.

Australia 32/1 in 3 overs

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Is this a match featuring retired players? Because Pawan Negi has just done a Glenn Phillips. Watson slashes hard at the fifth ball of the second over by Vinay Kumar, Negi jumps up in the air at point, plucks it above his head and holds on as he hits the ground.

Watson c Negi b Vinay Kumar 5(4)

Australia 15/1 in 1.5 overs

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Both Watson and Marsh are carrying injuries here. They are properly lmping running two off the fifth ball. Watson ends that over with a four over extra cover and so it ends up being a good start for them. Marsh on two off four, Watson on five off two.

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Dhawal Kulkarni has the ball in his hands and Shane Watson is on strike. Shaun Marsh at the other end.

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Well the Pathans didn’t fire together but they did fire nonetheless. Irfan Pathan finishes unbeaten on 19 off 7 balls, Yusuf had been dismissed for 23 off 10 and so they take India to 220 despite Australia applying a bit of a squeeze in the last two overs of the innings.

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Well, no Brothers of Destruction show today. Pathan takes a big swipe at the fourth ball of the 19th from Christian, misses it entirely and he is hit on his pads plumb in front of middle stump. Yusuf takes a review, just to confirm how comprehensively out he was. Irfan ends that over with a four though.

India 209/6 in 19 overs

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Binny takes a big swipe at the first ball of the 19th from Christian, misses it entirely and the ball hits the top of middle. A very useful innings there from Binny.

Now Irfan Pathan joins his brother.

Binny b Christian 36(21)

India 199/5 in 18.1 overs

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: And Stuart Binny has been going big guns throughout at the other side. Pathan starts the 16th over from Steve O’Keefe with a six over long on. Five runs off the next four balls and then Binny ends the over with another six over long on. He is on 21 off 11, Pathan on 12 off 6.

India 170/4 in 16 overs

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: He was hit for a six previous ball but then Doherty has the last laugh. Well these are very good conditions and India are in a fairly good position here but they certainly need something over 220 here. Especially considering the platform they have at the moment. Can they do it now without Yuvraj?

Yuvraj c Shaun Marsh b Doherty 59(30)

India 150/4 in 14.3 overs

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Bryce McGain comes in with some leg spin for the 13th over and gets blasted for three sixes by Yuvraj. The last of those is off the last ball of that over well above long on and that takes Yuvraj to 52 offf 26 balls.

India 132/3 in 13 overs

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Well he takes a little step outside leg and then moves across to try and play a sweep shot. Some modern day T20 funk there from Tendulkar but Hilfenhaus was alive to it, brings the pace down and drags back the length a bit and Sachin gets caught at short fine leg.

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Well this is probably what the home fans have wanted to see all tournament long here. Tendulkar and Yuvraj, the two most accomplished names in this Indian team, having a proper hit. Tendulkar has moved to 41 off 28, Yuvraj on 20 off 13.

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Tendulkar ends the last ball of the eighth from Christian with a sumptuous shot past deep square leg for four. It has been more than a decade since he retired but you wouldn’t be able to tell based on this evidence. Tendulkar on 35 off 22, Yuvraj on 11 off seven.

India 78/2 in 8 overs

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Well Yuvraj takes no time to get going. Gives Doherty the charge fifth ball after playing out a dot and sends it soaring over long on for six. That is where Negi was caught just two deliveries ago but this time, Doherty has to see the ball soar into the stands. A single next ball and Yuvraj keeps strike, Dan Christian to bowl the eighth.

India 69/2 in 7 overs

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Doherty with the second wicket for Australia. Negi tries to go big downtown but is caught at long on. He hasn’t really been able to get going here and perishes to the pressure.

But the crowd are on their feet as the man that walks in is Yuvraj Singh.

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Well, the great man has freed his hands here. He sends the first ball past third man for four and then runs a bye. A single for Pawan Negi and then Tendulkar plays the fourth ball to square leg for four. The fifth ball goes for four wides and then Tendulkar sends the ball to the deep backward point area for four. A single to third man to stay on strike.

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Castled! Rayudu seems to have overestimated the bounce on that. Misses the cut entirely and the ball crouches beneath his bat to hit the stumps. It was a fairly good start for India but O’Keefe has given Australia some respite.

Rayudu b Steve OKeefe 5(7)

India 15/1 in 2 overs

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Hilfenhaus starts with a wide delivery that sits up nicely for Rayudu and he cuts it with aplomb. The ball races to the boundary for four. Singles after that for him and Tendulkar and then three dots.

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: All right then, Sachin Tendulkar walks out to open the batting with Ambati Rayudu at the other end. Ben Hilfenhaus has the ball in his hands.

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Shaun Marsh, Daniel Christian, Ben Dunk(w), Nathan Reardon, Ben Cutting, Shane Watson(c), Steve OKeefe, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Xavier Doherty, Bryce McGain, Ben Hilfenhaus

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: This is how India are lining up today.

Sachin Tendulkar(c), Ambati Rayudu(w), Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Yusuf Pathan, Yuvraj Singh, Stuart Binny, Irfan Pathan, Pawan Negi, Shahbaz Nadeem, Dhawal Kulkarni, Vinay Kumar

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Shane Watson gets it right at last, he has been calling heads all season long. He says that Australia are bowling first.

IND-M vs NZ-M LIVE Score: Nope, there has been no confirmation of this happening today but that is what happened in India’s last match against the West Indies. The crowd in Raipur were in for some disappointment with Sachin Tendulkar being rested.

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Apart from being arguably the greatest batter to have ever lived since Don Bradman, Sachin Tendulkar was also a pioneering early star name in the IPL as Mumbai Indians captain. MI’s glory years really started only after he stepped down from that post but Tendulkar did have a T20 career of note, even though doesn’t even hold a candle to the numbers he stacked up in the longer formats. He played just one T20I for India against South Africa in 2006 and was out for 10 runs. Overall, though, Tendulkar scored 2797 runs in 96 T20 matches at a strike rate of 121.08 and average of 32.90, with 16 fifties and one century.

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: There has been no standout batting performance thus far from an Indian player but for what it is worth, Tendulkar remains their second highest run scorer thus far in the tournament, despite not playing one game. He has scored 114 runs in four matches at a strike rate of 162.85 and average of 28.50.

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: He is not bowling but the big Australian former opener is showing that he still remains a potent weapon as far as the big hits are concerned. Watson scored two unbeaten centuries on the trot and one more before that in Australia’s defeat to the West Indies.

IND-M vs NZ-M LIVE Score: India got here thanks to them earning eight points in their five league games. For Australia, it was quite touch and go after losing their first two matches. They confirmed a spot in the semis only after beating England in their last league match.

IND-M vs NZ-M LIVE Score: The match starts at 7.30pm IST and will be broadcast on Colours Cineplex and Colours Cineplex Superhits channels. You can stream the game live, meanwhile, on the JioHotstar app and website.

IND-M vs NZ-M LIVE Score: Australia may have beaten India once in this league but they did lose twice in their league stage, one more than their opponents today. Both those defeats came in the first two matches. Australia started their campaign with a seven-wicket defeat to the West Indies. Then they lost to Sri Lanka by three wickets. They then secured their passage to the semis with wins over India, South Africa and England.

IND-M vs NZ-M LIVE Score: 499 runs were scored across the two sides and yet the player of the match award went for a bowling effort. India smashed their way to 253/3, with Yuvraj Singh captaining the team in palce of Sachin Tendulkar. However, West Indies seemed to be making a red-hot dash for it with Dwayne Smith and William Perkins sharing a 121-run opening stand that came in just 8.4 overs. It was Binny’s burst of wickets in the 13th and 15th overs that broke the back of West Indies’ chase.

IND-M vs NZ-M LIVE Score: Shaun Marsh, Daniel Christian, Nathan Reardon, Ben Cutting, Peter Nevill(w), Shane Watson(c), James Pattinson, Ben Hilfenhaus, Steve OKeefe, Ben Laughlin, Bryce McGain, Xavier Doherty, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Ben Dunk, Callum Ferguson, Jason Krejza

IND-M vs NZ-M LIVE Score: Sachin Tendulkar(c), Naman Ojha(w), Saurabh Tiwary, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Yusuf Pathan, Yuvraj Singh, Irfan Pathan, Stuart Binny, Pawan Negi, Rahul Sharma, Dhawal Kulkarni, Abhimanyu Mithun, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Vinay Kumar, Shahbaz Nadeem

IND-M vs NZ-M LIVE Score: India have lived up to their billing as the best team on paper in this tournament, being defeated just once. However, the only team that beat them are the ones they are facing today in the semis. Stay tuned for more updates.
