India Defeat Australia and Move to Semi Final

Virat Kohli’s brilliant unbeaten 82 led hosts India to a six-wicket victory over Australia, which ensured   a place in the semi-finals of the World Twenty20.

Kohli expertly marshalled a chase of 161, taking 32 runs from the last 11 balls he faced to allow MS Dhoni to win it with five balls to spare in Mohali.

Earlier, Australia raced to 50 from only 22 deliveries but were dragged back to 160-6.

India will meet West Indies in the last four in Mumbai on Thursday, 31st March 2016.

Australia go out, ending the international career of Shane Watson, who announced his retirement on Thursday.
