Sri Lanka vs India, 7th Match at Dhaka, , Mar 01 2016 - Ball by Ball Commentary

11.10pm And that is that. An excellent performance from India, who are now through to the final? Who will join them there? Sri Lanka still have an outside chance, but they will need to beat Pakistan and hope that Pakistan beat Bangladesh. Lots of possibilities, so do join us for the rest of the tournament. Until next time, bye!

MS Dhoni: "I think consistent performance is very important. In the last 9-10 T20s we have played, we have done well. It was good to see a few of the others contributing as well. Yuvraj Singh's innings was crucial, not just for this match but for the team as well, good to see him get into some good form. Today's wicket was harder than some of the other wickets, but it was still a little soft, which allows the ball to grip and move around. It was good today, because you at least know it will be there for four overs or five overs. Overall, it was a track that was testing initially for the batsmen, but later on it was quite easy."

Virat Kohli is the man of the match. "Touchwood, it's coming out nicely now. Another crunch situation, 16 for 2. It's nice to challenge yourself. Kulasekara and Angie were bowling well. I knew I'm striking the ball well, so I have to take the pressure off the other batsman by hitting the odd boundary, but it has to be a cricketing shot. [Stepping out of the crease] was the plan, because all their seam bowlers bowl that good length. Except Chameera, the rest are all seam bowlers, so it was important not to let them bowl that length. If you're set on 25-30, the ball full of dew is a wonder, but when the ball changes you need to adjust with your bat flow and check your shot sometimes."

Angelo Mathews: "With the dew coming in, it felt like we were 20-25 runs short, but the Indians batted well, as always, and Virat was outstanding. If the wicket was like the previous one, it would have been a fighting total, but the dew came in and the ball started sliding through. We are depending heavily on our seniors, with the side we have. The seniors need to fire, otherwise we're in trouble."

"Felt pretty good," says Yuvraj Singh. "I needed those hits for my confidence. Not the easiest wicket to bat on, you need to go there and give yourself some time. My job was to go and play the situation, this game and the last game. Just happy I'm hitting the ball well."

WalidNisar: "Yuvraj has now more T20I sixes than Boom Boom Shahid Afridi"

Ishan Jain: "With this innings, Kohli's avg in T20Is has again crossed 50. Its 51.03 now."

Talha Hameed: "Most fifties in T20Is: Virat Kohli 13, Brendon McCullum 13, Gayle 13. "

Santosh: "Had Mathews already given up? Siriwardana instead of Kula and himself?"

10.51pm And with that India are through to the final. Sri Lanka dismissed both openers cheaply, and threatened to make a game of this, but Kohli, Raina and Yuvraj batted smartly to steer India home with a fair degree of ease.

Everyone's in the circle now.

Siriwardana. Interesting move to bring him on now, this late in the innings.

Here's Dhoni. India need 14 from 13.

Rakesh Souriraj: "When Yuvi fires , this Indian team looks even more dominating . They are real title contenders."

Here's Hardik Pandya.

Rishabh : "I'm a big fan of Yuvraj no doubt , but I feel Manish Pandey should be given a chance ahead of him. It was really painful to watch Yuvraj against Pakistan. He isn't the Yuvraj of 2007 or 2011. He is the Yuvraj who struggles against pace and is unreliable."

The dew has left the ball totally sodden. The umpires are having a look at it. Not sure if they've changed it or not.

Not sure if it was just that last ball or right through the over, but Yuvraj was taking stance deep inside his crease to Chameera.
