India has secured it’s place in the Champions Trophy final after beating Australia by four wickets in the first semi final in Dubai this morning.

Virat Kohli chased his side to victory after an impressive match.

India was supported by a loud, partisan crowd, also held firm excellently with the ball to dismiss Australia for 264 in 49.3 overs.

India will play New Zealand or South Africa in the final, who will contest in the second semi final at 9 tonight.

India's win means Sunday's final will be played in Dubai, rather than Lahore as initially planned because of their decision not to travel to hosts Pakistan.
