In my opinion, for any real chance, SA needed to post 185 plus.

^ After the first two overs it seems that way for sure
Re: World T20, 2nd Semi-Final: India v South Africa at Dhaka, Apr 4, 2014
Counter attack AB looks confused
Re: World T20, 2nd Semi-Final: India v South Africa at Dhaka, Apr 4, 2014
Pak batsmen need to study how Indian batsmen bat in pressure situations and esp. while chasing
172 is by no means a small total and Indian openers have been very positive so far
Re: World T20, 2nd Semi-Final: India v South Africa at Dhaka, Apr 4, 2014
Steyn to RG Sharma, SIX
Re: World T20, 2nd Semi-Final: India v South Africa at Dhaka, Apr 4, 2014
SA chickened out by opening with part timers, gave all the advantage to India, now even Sharma attacking Steyn, wow!
Re: World T20, 2nd Semi-Final: India v South Africa at Dhaka, Apr 4, 2014
first wicket down...was a very stupid shot though -
Re: World T20, 2nd Semi-Final: India v South Africa at Dhaka, Apr 4, 2014
all bowlers starting with a wide, are they so sh!t-scared of Indian batting?
Re: World T20, 2nd Semi-Final: India v South Africa at Dhaka, Apr 4, 2014
Sharma is one of the best batsman India has. He lost his wicket quick, still 24 runs is reasonable in this type of cricket. Anyhow, he made target easier by scoring some quick runs, and not difficult what most Pakistani openers would have done in such situation.
Re: World T20, 2nd Semi-Final: India v South Africa at Dhaka, Apr 4, 2014
India in driving seat. 52/1 in 5 overs.
Re: World T20, 2nd Semi-Final: India v South Africa at Dhaka, Apr 4, 2014
I never thought Ajinkya Rahane would launch an attack like this. :D
Re: World T20, 2nd Semi-Final: India v South Africa at Dhaka, Apr 4, 2014
i was wondering the same...probably they are not able to control the swing?
Re: World T20, 2nd Semi-Final: India v South Africa at Dhaka, Apr 4, 2014
Ind 56/1 off 6.0 overs...good start though... :D

Yeah that was unnecessary. When you are going so well and ahead of the RRR, why would you want to play such a rash aerial shot?
Re: World T20, 2nd Semi-Final: India v South Africa at Dhaka, Apr 4, 2014
We have to play like this...
Re: World T20, 2nd Semi-Final: India v South Africa at Dhaka, Apr 4, 2014
SA Choking
Re: World T20, 2nd Semi-Final: India v South Africa at Dhaka, Apr 4, 2014
This patnership has to score 40 Runs atleast in the next 4 Overs.

Bhai, players have to try. Sharma made 24 runs in 12 balls because he did took calculated risk, else he could have made only 10 runs in 12 balls and that would meant more pressure on team. He knew that India have many good batsmen to follow, so why worry taking calculated risk. That is different matter that he got out in process.
It is like Shahid Afridi taking risk, but since his batting is not of quality, he has very low batting average, he gets out more often than passing 10 runs.

Rahane gone...
