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: Pathan finishes it off. Big appeal for caught behind, not given by Bowden. Tendulkar reviews after Rayudu tells him to go for it quite confidently. Big, big spike as the ball passes bat and so that is that. India have absolutely cruised to the final here. Australia looked pretty down and out throughout the game and one can't blame them really. They only played their last league game yesterday, which is tough enough for any active professional, let alone players who haven't done these hard yards for a while. And so that's that today, do join us tomorrow when the West Indies take on Sri Lanka in the second semi-final. The final, meanwhile, will be played on Sunda

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Slow ball from Pathan, Cutting succumbs to it. Pathan gives him a little stare after that. Cutting had taken a real liking to him. Cutting goes for a big shot down the ground and is caught at long on.

Australia 114/9 in 16.1 overs

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Just a run in the 16th over. Cutting is playing a nice little hand here, he has scored 39 in 29 balls and will be on strike to face Irfan Pathan 17th over. This partnership has lasted two full overs, which is more than most for Australia in this match.

Australia 114/8 in 16 overs

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Ben Cutting smashes back to back sixes off the first two balls of the 15th for six over long on. Then he hits the fourth to midwicket for a four. Takes a single next ball and Doherty blocks out the last. Pathan looked absolutely knackered at the end of that over.

Australia 113/8 in 15 overs

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Pawan Negi comes in for the 14th over, keeps it stump to stump second ball and O'Keefe's stumps are a mess as he misses a big haymaker leg side. Well Australia are doing the noble thing here and going down swinging.

Steve O'Keefe b Negi 0(5)

Australia 94/8 in 13.2 overs

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Hilfenhaus had reviewed the LBW decision he got against Nadeem last over. Well he falls to Nadeem LBW after all. No reviews this time, he misses a shot against a straight ball and is hit on his backfoot right in front of the stumps. All getting over very quickly for Australia now.

Hilfenhaus lbw b Nadeem 2(6)

Australia 82/7 in 11.2 overs

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Well the writing is on the wall really after that over. No hat-trick for Nadeem but it seemed like he had got a third wicket fifth ball with Hilfenhaus being given LBW. However the Aussie pacer reviewed that succesfully.

Australia 76/6 in 10 overs

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Coulter-Nile swings for the horizon first ball that he faces. He swung it leg side, the ball popped up to the off side and it is an easy catch at cover for Irfan Pathan.

Coulter-Nile c Irfan Pathan b Nadeem 0(1)

Australia 74/6 in 9.2 overs

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: Game over already? Reardon goes for a big shot leg side but he puts it straight down the throat of the man on the ropes. Reardon was giving Australia some hope but just as it had started to look like he is settling in, he falls.

IND-M vs AUS-M LIVE Score: A single off the last ball of the ninth over and Billy Bowden gives the most enthusiastic signal for a timeout anyone has ever given. Nathan Reordan keeping up the fight here for Australia.

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.
