WT20 | India v South Africa | 2nd Semi Final |4/04/14 | Dhaka | India Innings

[Red Devil]

Target 173

Can SA defend this target?

 

[hmushtaq]

Should be cakewalk for India. Kohli chases these eyes closed.

 

[Kianig89]

Will Rahane oipen

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

SA favorites.

Interesting chase.

If Ashwin was not there, SA would have posted 200.

 

[Kianig89]

Steyn should :AAG here

 

[Dragon]

Exciting match

 

[ekpakistani]

Key for SA would be to take early wickets. Steyn the beast to get the wickets

[jattafridi]

Good fighting total but India have kohli

 

[London_Lahori]

India have the batting to do this.

I'd say at the moment it is 55-45 SA's favour

 

[hmushtaq]

Tahir will be exposed, only Steyn is threat, so India can easily negotiate his overs.

 

[Noman]

Well guys india will win this, will be a harder and the pressure on.. But expecting india to chase down this, just need singles and one batsman to play a good quality inning and the team will win

 

[Nikhil_cric]

SA gonna break their choking curse and smash both us and SL. Even 2015 WC might be theirs.

 

[London_Lahori]

If Kohli fails do India fail? Or can Yuvraj, Raina and Dhoni take them over the line

 

[dhump]

20 runs short of safe total SA.

 

[Sandeep]

If any team can chase this, it is India. Fingers crossed!

 

[London_Lahori]

8 overs from Tahir and Steyn will be extremely crucial.

Especially Tahir, India will try and get after him

 

[psyoptica]

What's wrong with ptv sports? Hahaha hilarious!

 

[battler]

Sa favourites here,only a kohli or yuvi special can save us here!

 

[maddgenius]

150 was par score here, Saffers are favorites here

 

[Dragon]

This will be fun to watch

 

[maddgenius]

Indians must be praying for rain right now

 

[prayas]

Hope
Raina will score he is beast against RSA in t20
Last time he made :100 against them

 

[prayas]

Hope
Raina will score he is beast against RSA in t20
Last time he made :100 against them

 

[zabalestmsm]

Lets see if RSA finally dont choke

 

[battler]

Hope the rain stays away here!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Sa favourites here,only a kohli or yuvi special can save us here!

Lol yuvi? Forget it. Only a kohli or dhoni special will save us.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Rahane and ROhit will be out in no time me thinks. They are too slow for T20 standards and waste too many deliveries.

One of Kohli, Raina and UV will have to score a big blistering 50.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Today it was more brainless bowling than bad bowling.

What the hell was Mishra thinking?

He just had to loop the ball.

Why was he tryoing his useless quicker and off spinning ones.

 

[Noman]

Steyn will be hit out of the park.. indian are like Pakistan their have class and know how to chase well india chase 350 in odi and this is t20 and kholi i yuvi is strikers

 

[Sandeep]

Indians must be praying for rain right now

Not really. We love challenges!

 

[Buffet]

Target 173

Can SA defend this target?

I don't think SA has ever lost a game when scored 170+ and this pitch is not an easy one to chase. SA is a huge favorite right now.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Tahir will still be crucial.

 

[London_Lahori]

What's the weather doing?

 

[BlackThunder]

Our batsman need to show up here. We have to target Morkel and Tahir in order to put SA in backfoot a bit.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Lets see if RSA finally dont choke

They will choke in the finals anyway

 

[Smbhayi]

bad balling tatics by Dhoni...

 

[Itachi]

RSA FINALLY removed the curse lol.

 

[Extreme Pace]

Tough target this but SA only have 1 spinner.

 

[Asif321]

SA plz dont choke i beg you perfect chance to enter your first T20 wc final

 

[BlackThunder]

No matter what happens rain has to stay away. Don't want to win in that fashion.

 

[zabalestmsm]

They will choke in the finals anyway

If they win this then i can tell u for sure they will win the final.

 

[mosh101]

172 in a knock out game is gold !

That said, India has the firepower to chase this !

 

[Noman]

Hope
Raina will score he is beast against RSA in t20
Last time he made :100 against them

Bhai india will win its easy pitch 80-20 in india favour.. look batsman was hitting six with one hand.. its easy.... pace is easy on this pitch..

 

[HamzaSaeen]

SA plz don't choke. Break the shackles of not winning a world tourney.

 

[Electron]

A very tough target, but if any batting lineup has a realistic chance of chasing it against SA, it's Indian. Rohit and Virat will be key players for India as always. Dhoni's finishing skills too will be put to test.

 

[siddharth]

Congrats SA for removing the choke tag...Peaked at the right time..

 

[96NotOut]

SA have got to win this!

 

[Sam18696]

Kohli the key here. Need to get him early

 

[Noman]

bad balling tatics by Dhoni...

Well I do not thing it was bad.. Jadeja will also got hit dumini was set,

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Will be an interesting chase this.

 

[mithun_minhas]

SA plz don't choke. Break the shackles of not winning a world tourney.

If India loses, I would want Lankans to win.

It will be an embarrassment for Subcontinent teams if one of us do not win it all.

We already suck overseas and now we cannot win in home conditions either.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Hendricks, A Morkel and Parnell for me the weak links in RSA bowling. Too many lol. India shud exploit them.

 

[96NotOut]

What sort of an all rounder is Kohli? He never bowls.

 

[IndianWillow]

India did not have the need to chase tall scores so far - 173 is not a good sign for India, not many batsmen had good match practice here. 65-35 SA for me.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

If India loses, I would want Lankans to win.

It will be an embarrassment for Subcontinent teams if one of us do not win it all.

We already suck overseas and now we cannot win in home conditions either.

Well that is also one way of thinking but the thing is, every one of SC major teams has at least one world title and SA has none. They also need to remove the chokers tag.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

India should do this. SA fought hard but I reckon they needed another 18 runs to be favourites.

 

[Dragon]

Guys India will win this, 100% sure

 

[sardara_singh]

south Africa gonna win for sure..no way india gonna get this total..outside chance if openers give a good platform to bat and kohli plays a blinder

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

The best batting line up in the world should live up to their talents. :kholi

 

[IndianWillow]

If India loses, I would want Lankans to win.

It will be an embarrassment for Subcontinent teams if one of us do not win it all.

We already suck overseas and now we cannot win in home conditions either.

Why the SC obsession? Let the Saffers win once and open their account.

 

[zabalestmsm]

India should do this. SA fought hard but I reckon they needed another 18 runs to be favourites.

I think they wasted Raina's last over. They took 6 singles in it and never looked for a big one. This i feel wud cost them. May be.

 

[sardara_singh]

I have a feeling kohli gonna get out early and sharma will give us slow start

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Rohit against steyn was as bad as professor last time they met.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Well that is also one way of thinking but the thing is, every one of SC major teams has at least one world title and SA has none. They also need to remove the chokers tag.

SA are an excellent cricket team and are beats where ever they play bilateral series.

We only have one thing to banter against SA fans like Buffet. That is the choker tag. All the fun and banter will be gone if SA wins it all

 

[Crazy_K]

Much higher than anything India have had to chase this tournament, we've seen how teams batting 2nd capitulate & SA have never lost after scoring 166+

Good luck India

 

[mosh101]

Imran tahir will have 4 crucial over

 

[mithun_minhas]

Rohit against steyn was as bad as professor last time they met.

Diferent conditions.

If Rohit plays the same way today, he should be put in the same class as

 

[sardara_singh]

at least fight ..don't just throw your arms like Pakistani team does sometimes..i want indian team to go out fighinting till last man standing

 

[siddharth]

Lol at the jinxes...The body langauge of Indian players says it all..Similar to Pak players in the last match..

 

[biggestdravidfan]

When will trundlers learn not to bowl Short balls and Full tosses ?

 

[abhayjj]

easy win for south africa

 

[mithun_minhas]

Lol at the jinxes...The body langauge of Indian players says it all..Similar to Pak players in the last match..

Agreed.

Ashwin, Mohit clearly were not up to it today. They choked even before taking the field.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Here comes Harbhajan Singh to bowl lol.

 

[mithun_minhas]

India should play positive cricket and attack.

 

[Kianig89]

A SL vs SA will be a good final these teams haver played a final against each other

 

[Dragon]

Lets see what shane warne taught them

 

[Kianig89]

Jp

 

[Dragon]

:4 haha

 

[mithun_minhas]

excellent batting conditions.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

SA should just let Steyn bowl the first over.
