Another Twenty20 match, another awesome win for India. Put in to bat in difficult conditions, India managed a fighting 153 backed by an amazing 50 from the young Rohit Sharma, who got his 50 off a last ball six. And then the bowlers took over, restricting SA to 116 for 9 (including 25 extras!), not only winning the match and moving into the semis, but also kicking SA out of the tournament in real style! Harbhajan and RP Singh (4 for 13) came in with devastating spells, Dhoni switched roles from wicket keeper to mid off fielder in the middle of the game to back his bowlers (I love this guy - I love his spunk - I love his attitude), and Dinesh Karthick came up with a spell-binding catch in second slips to make sure we didn't miss the 6-in-6 Yuvraj, who had to sit out today with an injury.
This is a young, live wire Indian team hungry for victory - backed by millions and millions of proud Indians screaming Chak De India. The Indian juggernaut is rolling - watch out and get out of the way!
