@OomPB Indians cruise past England and into the final.

On the plus side - Kohli has had a terrible tournament so far. He's averaging slightly less than 11.

On the downside - he's due!

Someone still has to stop Rohit Sharma at the top.
Also doesn’t help SA that India have had something like five different player of the match awards, so someone different has stood up each time

Could hope for another nightmare pitch as an equaliser?

[Chris B.]

@bayimports Yeah - pretty tough job for SA to win this one. The Indians have pretty much dismantled all comers to date.

I guess the Jaapies have done what they did at RWC - repeatedly snuck home by a point.

[OomPB]

Proteas have enough match winners for T20. So far it was only one that pull us through. Now we need at least three to hit form in the final.

[W32]

Disastrous start. It’s gonna be a bloodbath

[W32]

Whoa! 23-2

[antipodean]

India choking

[W32]

SA falling off after a good start.

[W32]

India have done enough to win. Jansen very expensive for SA

Klaasen fighting back bigtime. SA have reverse choked this final with 5 1/2 overs to go

...and another 6! He's 43 off 20

[W32]

Now gone!

[nzzp]

SA will cruise home here ... or have the biggst choke in their history (and that's saying something)

23 off 19 needed to win

[nzzp]

Holy shit Bumrah. Incredible over - ..1W now 21 off 14 needed with 4 wickets in hand

[nzzp]

Oh my word. What a catch by India - that should have been a straight 6, but ridiculous take in the outfield

[nzzp]

stick a fork in SA, they're done now unless this gets overturned....

[W32]

So close. Not really a choke. Good effort

yeah that's a choke. 23 needed off 19 in T20 with wickets in hand is a cakewalk. This loss is all mental.

[W32]

Whatever.

Agree to disagree - SA were cruising. Win predictor was in the high 90's ... but they coughed it up. 3 runs and a wicket in 7 balls is going to lose you games.

Don’t take it personally. Choice is give India credit or call SA chokers.

I’ll take the latter every single time!

I only saw the last over but that was the difference. If Miller stays in SA win regardless of what happened previously.
