Agree India should win this one if Kohli get among the runs. If not then they will collapse like a house of cards :D

We are not that bad IMO. We were far more worser in the 90's when a certain Sachin Tendulkar was carrying the team around and his dismissal would inevitably signal a big collapse.

Yuvraj, Dhoni, Raina and Rohit are big T20 players. For AUS, Watto is now taking the team to big wins pretty comprehensively. Does it mean that if he fails, Aus will always lose?

India should be winning this one.......:D

Hope we do.... Take the confidence of the last game into this, and don't tinker with the winning combination. Hope Dhoni doesn't make any unnecessary changes from last game. This XI should play again. Ashwin, Yuvi and Viru are enough for the spin vs SA.
 
South Africa haven't played like South Africa in this tournament. They've only won 2 games out of the four they played and that too were against Zimbabwe and Sri lanka (not to mention they won due to rain). So India has a fair enough chance to win, but I'll be supporting the Africans.

In 2007, we were in the same group as South Africa and also we lost our first Super Eight match against NZ. But we came back pretty well to beat England in the second game, and went on to beat SA pretty comprehensively in the 3rd game to enter the semis. Hope we have a repeat performance of 2007 T20 WC this time (more so vs South Africa).
 
Backing us to win this one, and if my calculation is right we'll be playing SL in the semi's, provided Australia win their game against Pakistan and go through as group leaders.
 
Interesting move (or the lack of it) by Dhoni. Looking at the performance of the last game, RSA's batting skills and limitations and the pitch, I'd have wanted Harbhajan to be in the side for Zaheer. Apart from spin, we can get our batting strengthened as well if India lose so many wickets and things go down to the wire. Zaheer, on the other hand, wasn't very effective and nowhere near his best.
 
Yeah India would have preferred if they bat 2nd.It could make the equation lot more easier as they are such a good batting unit.Nevertheless still if India got to 180 i see a bright chance for them
 
Congratulations to Pakistan for the semi-final spot.... Well hope India atleast try and get a win today and bow out respectfully!
 
First six overs and Saffer really put india on the back foot.de Villiers deserves appreciation for his good bowling changes
