Full commentary

Saharan: I had a belief on myself that I can do it, just one partnership we needed and could cross the line. When the ball was new, took some time but once it became old we played our shots.

India won by 2 wickets and they will face Australia or Pakistan in the final.

What a superb performance by India, specially their skipper Saharan and Dhas, what a partnership it was between them, at one stage India were down and out when they lost 4 wickets just for 32 runs. Dhas was out at 96 but Saharan held the innings together and helped them to crossed the line. He was ran out when the scores were level. Saharan scored brilliant 81.

What a great take by fine leg fielder! Maphaka strikes on the first ball of his spell and the last ball of his spell as well! Good short ball, goes for the pull, gets the top edge fine leg fielder ran towards his right and took a lovely diving catch. Norton was the catcher.
