Will australia face india in the semi-finals?

There is increasing expectation as to which team will play against india in the semi-finals of the 2025 Champions Trophy. Will india and australia face each other in the semi-finals? There is also an expectation. Here is how which team will play against india in the semi-finals. Currently, india and new zealand have advanced to the semi-finals in Group A. However, it has not yet been decided which team will be at the top of the points table and which team will be in second place. The group-round match between india and new zealand will be played tomorrow. If the indian team wins that match, it will take the top spot in Group A. If the new zealand team wins, that team will take the first place in Group A. Similarly, in Group B, even though australia has advanced to the semi-finals, which other team will advance to the semi-finals? It is not yet decided.
Afghanistan and south africa are on the points table with three points each. afghanistan has no more matches. Although the team has a chance to advance to the semi-finals based on South Africa's defeat and net run rate, the possibility of that is low as the net run rate is at rock bottom. If south africa defeats england or if south africa loses but has a higher net run rate than afghanistan, they will advance to the semi-finals. Since Afghanistan's net run rate is currently very bad, south africa has a high chance of advancing to the semi-finals. However, whether south africa will finish first or second in Group B will be known only after the match against England. If south africa wins today's match against england, it will top the Group B points table with 5 points.
 If south africa loses, it will finish second. Then australia will have finished first. The team that finished first in Group A will play against the team that finished second in Group B in the semi-finals. In that case, if the indian team finishes first in Group A, it will play against the team that finished second in Group B in the semi-finals. Therefore, if australia finishes second in Group B and india finishes first in Group A, india and australia will face each other. If not, india and south africa will face each other in the semi-finals. The four teams india, new zealand, australia, and south africa are still undecided as to where they will be in the points table.
