00:00pulls it away and what a start for Australia it goes all the way to the
00:07boundary whip through the leg side from Usman Khawaja who's very strong in that
00:13region that brings up his second boundary he goes again it's wide admit on
00:19and that'll make its way to the boundary so two in a row goes again Khawaja he
00:27gets another boundary this is becoming a big over for Australia three in a row
00:35that's why didn't in the gap flaying it away Aaron Finch and that'll bring up
00:40his first boundary Vince goes for it way over mid on and that's the first one of
00:48the night well he's a powerful cloud and he goes again this time a little bit
00:55wide admit I won't get it it was close but it's back-to-back sixes
01:01that's a good placement from Aaron Finch what about the power
01:16oh this should be out and it is beautiful ball from Ashwin didn't he need that it
01:24pitched its spine it's beaten David Warner
01:29yes the finger goes up the batsman still holding his ground where I Erasmus raising
01:42the finger and a Steve Smith walking back as he found the gap yes he has didn't
01:51sound sweet but still plenty of power in that fringe shot is moved on to 43 now the
02:00second time he's got a boundary from the two end of the bat field doesn't change
02:04last ball for Pandya the shot again and this could be our chicken common is coming
02:09under it takes the catch India have got another wicked as the set batsman who's
02:16walking back that's going to be for the three men down there on the leg side but
02:24he manages to pierce the gap
02:28balls in boomerah he's the destroyer and Maxwell in full flight is no longer and the
02:37crowd comes to life they know the danger man is gone
02:42that one will run away that'll be a boundary and you always know it's a
02:48boundary because there's a hush across the ground so no fine leg you've got no
02:53third man so those two men behind point are up inside this circle you've got deep
02:59point long on long off deep mid wicket as well and that one is high it's not long
03:06enough though it is not long enough so Faulkner fries in the deep oh that's clever Pete Neville
03:18using the crease getting across the stumps fine leg is in play that could square has come up so here
03:27it is the last ball of the innings and he's hit it beautifully and it's out of here six to finish so
03:36they will finish with 160 Australia and we saw that the the six yesterday for England was helpful
03:44could that six be helpful for Australia 160 for six
03:55away away with a boundary first ball to Darwin is a boundary through the offside will
04:01they enjoy pace on the ball you bet oh great shot Maxwell just picks it up from the
04:09crowd first punch Shikka Darwin pulled away one bounce two bounces four does go straight up in the air
04:24will it be taken it's taken very good from Australia Darwin's gone whips it away whips it away with such style
04:37and grace why does he bother running the moment it hits the middle of the bat it's four
04:41oh hit away hit away beautiful hands beautiful wrists beautiful batsmen
04:51bowled him he just knows what he's doing Shane Watson he has a gut feel about the batsmen
04:59and Australia have two in the air good timing though the outfields quick you're not catching up with that
05:11boundary terrain up
05:13what it does occasionally is then bring the fielders in and then Rainer may take the
05:19boundary option is it a glove on that I think there is a glove on that given
05:24Watson Watson has another Australia have three that's a good line to ball for you grad saying
05:36they'll get some runs though that's it hands it times as well enough yes very well enough
05:47that's a gift and he accepts it gracefully you've run saying nice juicy full toss will that get him going
06:00will he get there well it seems like he does and it's clean the catch the empires may want to have a look
06:11at it is you've run walking what is without call you telling the Empire right I think you're convinced
06:17it's a it's a clean catch so you've rotting the pots what a catch that big wicket you've Raj goes 94 for
06:27fall
06:27right out the back of the hand from James Faulkner and you bushing just stopped the shot didn't pick
06:43it up at all shame Watson made good ground and got to it with one hand look at that it's just stuck in
06:50the hand for Shane Watson well done just at the right time it's found the gap so touch-and-go for
07:05that field that they're on the leg side though his first boundary the bottom hand of Virat Kohli gets
07:16a boundary nothing wrong with the ball the field as well set for those kind of shots but what a
07:23placement that was he swats that to the man in the deep and 50 for Kohli the 50 won't mean anything
07:34if India lose he is brilliant in a run chase but it's not over
07:40the third man in place it's going to beat him though India needed that they needed to finish with
07:50something they do three overs remaining India need a further 39 runs
07:56that'll be hard to stop it is so hard it looks lush but it's like concrete out there once the runs start
08:08flowing try and stop them Paul at 115 in ball back of the hand stuff just about every delivery and the
08:17Indians must be prepared for that he's not going to bowl a quicker delivery not on the surface he's going
08:22to bowl the back of the hand stuff Kohli was ready for it this this ball and he slammed it away for a
08:28boundary we saw him both all six deliveries against Pakistan the other day all back of the hand slower
08:35delivery the Australia would love to see the end of Kohli Kohli look at his face his determination he can
08:45play all the shots look at that one he's not going to stop that either this bloke is brilliant and this is
08:52when he comes to life well that's the Indian women's team they've stayed back to watch the men and they're
09:00enjoying it as is this huge crowd that is a terrific shot this one's ball at his normal speed and Kohli
09:09opening the face of the bat opening the face of the bat chopping it down running it away from that fielder at deep
09:15point eight fronts of the first two deliveries Ravi Shastri is happy as well run rate now down to eleven point six
09:25thirty one of sixteen so pretty much two runs of delivery flats and listen to the crowd they're chanting Kohli Kohli
09:34he advances he goes in the air there is long off he can only watch it go over his head
09:42four four six
09:44he's unstoppable at the moment
09:49what about that it's away it's full
09:55he slices them through the offside he just opens the blade
10:00he so understands where the fieldsmen are and where they're not exactly if he had played with a
10:09straight pad it would have gone to the field or an extra cover so he's opened the face of the bat and he
10:13sliced it deliberately two men inside the circle behind the stumps no deep third man very very aware very very
10:23conscious where the fielders are that's the hallmark of all great batsmen you know exactly where the fielders are
10:31moving away because the music was still going from the PA system also giving himself just that little extra
10:38second or two to get his breath back made the bowler also run halfway down that's also a pretty smart thing to do here we go again it wasn't a bad delivery really
10:49and then oh that is that is a poor delivery at this stage of the day you cannot bowl there he's overcompensated
10:59you understand it he's gone a little bit outside off stuff gets sliced away so he he thinks I'll get a little bit tighter
11:07I'll get a little bit more on the leg side but not on the fire guard when you haven't got someone deep
11:13well poor delivery or not it still has to be put away and Virat Kohli has done it in style rolling the wrists
11:23hitting the ball along the ground not taking any chances there is a deep square leg but he knows that
11:28the fine leg is in the 30-yard circle that could be the game that could be the game
11:36if it wasn't the ball before that my world is be the game that is a classic over extra cover and away she goes
11:47that hurts Australia that hurts them so much but take about Virat Kohli you genius 157 for four
12:09here we go the final over they need four well you might as well hit it for six in Estonia the skipper has done
12:18it India have made the semi-finals of the ICC world 2020 they have brought their best to Chandiga we haven't
12:29really seen their best game and we knew today was going to be a special game sunny these two always have a
12:37a humdinger of a game what a beauty we've witnessed absolute beauty fantastic win that terrific and it
12:47is the skipper doing it in style as he invariably does finishing with a six you can see that Virat Kohli
12:56is just a touch emotional he sank to his knees when that shot was hit by his skipper
