South Africa won by 12 runs
India lose again and with not a single win in the Super 8s stage, they certainly have a lot to think about. Can’t really say that for the other side. They are on a 7 match winning streak and are only the second team to be unbeaten so far in this tournament, the other being Sri Lanka. The semi final line up is ready. It will be South Africa taking on Pakistan in the first of them and Sri Lanka taking on West Indies in the second.
