India and Australia will clash in Dubai, while South Africa and New Zealand will clash in Lahore.
The match officials for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025's two semi-finals have been confirmed. India and Australia will clash in the first semi-final on March 4 in Dubai, while South Africa and New Zealand will go at it in the second semi-final in Lahore on March 5.
The match officials for India's first semi-final against Australia in Dubai will be New Zealander Chris Gaffaney and England's Richard Illingworth. Michael Gough will serve as the third umpire, and Andy Pycroft will be the match referee.
Illingworth, who officiated India's Group A encounter against New Zealand, will remain in Dubai for this match. Gaffaney was originally set to umpire Australia's Group B match against South Africa, but weather conditions forced him to swap roles.
