India becomes semi-finalist in Twenty 20

I hardly watch cricket match but this time in Twenty 20, I enjoy almost all matches. I also enjoyed the last match between India and South Africa. India did bating in the first inning. After seeing the first inning the score was frustrating indeed. India made only 153 runs and I thought if Gibbs of South Africa play well then this score is nothing to him. Also Yuvraj Singh who scored six sixes in a over in the last match with England was not in the match. So I was not confident that India would go through the semi-final. The bating of the India was not good at all. Most of the good batsmen of India like Shewag, Utthapa had already lost in the first few overs. After that Dhoni and Rohit Sharma came into the field. And they brought up the run up to standard level. Rohit Sharma scored up to 50 and scored half century with his last six. And with the last six of Rohit Sharma India could manage up to 153 runs.
After the first inning I thought India would loss and I decided to not watch the match. Also for South Africa they needed only 120 score to go through the semi-final and even if they lost in the match they can go through the semi final if they maintain up to 120 runs. But RP Singh did amazing bowling in the second inning. And in his first over he ruled out Gibbs and Gibbs was out without any score. And then in the few subsequent overs, Indian Bowlers took 4-5 wickets. And Sounth Africa could make only 116 runs. The most frustrating news is that South Africa was out of the tournament with only one lost. They lost in the yesterday match only and they were out of the tournament. Now I am confident that India can reach up to final and also now there is chance that India will won this cup.
