Sep 20, 2007
India advanced to the semi-finals of the Twenty20 World Cup beating South Africa by 37 runs and in the process knocked the hosts out of the competition while New Zealand also proceeded into the last-four stage on the basis of better run-rate.
New Zeland will take on Pakistan in the first semi-final in Cape Town while India will meet Australia in Durban in the other clash. Needing 154 runs to win on a bowlers-friendly pitch, South Africa were restricted to 116-9 as R P Singh emerged the star with the ball claiming 4 wickets. Harbhajan Singh and S Sreesanth took two wickets each.
Earlier, man-of-the match Rohit Sharma's unbeaten half-century helped India score 153 for five after electing to bat first. Captain M S Dhoni also made an important contribution with 45 runs.
