India scored 152/6 in 20 overs in their match against South Africa in the current T20 World Cup Series in Colombo and scraped through with a victory by a single precious run as South Africa scored 151 All Out in 19.5 overs.
However, required to curtail South Africa to 121 runs in order to make it to the semi-finals, India did not measure up to the challenge and their fortunes have sunk with those of South Africa despite the face-saving victory against South Africa.
Now the first semi-final will be played between Srilanka and Pakistan while the second will be between Australia and West Indies.
Yuvraj Singh has been declared the the Man of the Match.
