India crushed arch-rivals Pakistan and Australia put on another Shane Watson show as the race to the World Twenty20 semi-finals heated up yesterday.
Virat Kohli hit an unbeaten 78 off 61 balls as India, who would have been knocked out had they lost, bowled out Pakistan for 128
and then surpassed the modest target in 17 overs with eight wickets in hand.
Australia also defeated South Africa by the same margin in the first match of the double-header, after Watson claimed 2-29 and smashed 70 off 47 balls to win his fourth successive man-of-the match award.
Australia restricted the Proteas to 146-5 and won by the 18th over to record their second win in a row in group two, but will
still need to beat Pakistan tomorrow to make the semi-finals.
India will also have to beat South Africa in tomorrow's second match to remain in the hunt.
For their part, South Africa will need a big win over India, but also need Australia to beat Pakistan, to have any hope of reaching the semi-finals.
