India booked a World Twenty20 semi-final with Australia and knocked South Africa out with a 37-run win.

They were reeling on 61-4 but Rohit Sharma (50no) and skipper Mahendra Dhoni (45) shared 84 to help them post 153-5 in bowler-friendly conditions.

So australia is next, will they do it again?

its like punter himself [Ricky pointing] has blogged :D, i liked reading it, some interesting excerpts

We watched the game at the hotel last evening assuming that we would be playing South Africa in the semifinals.

India would be more familiar with the conditions at Kingsmead because they have played three games here, but the conditions are going to excite our bowlers since there is pace and swing in the wicket. We might have liked to stay on in Cape Town because we were quite used to the conditions there, and more importantly, we could have done without some travel.

the Indians will find us very hard to beat.

India-Pakistan rivalries are much better than the Ashes. Go India and Monday's match will be a different class!
