What drama, heartbreak for Pakistan, huge relief for India, real tension and a superb game. Harmeet and Sandeep showed the courage to get India over the line and they are through to Semi Final. The players shake hands. Another close game and India win by 1 wicket. This is third close game between India and Pakistan in 2 months.

The other Quarter Final between New Zealand and West Indies is a thriller. 18 runs were required of the final over and New Zealand win on the final delivery, they required 4 runs of the last delivery. So India take on New Zealand in the second Semi Final.

Now to this game, Pakistan fought well till the end but Indian team especially Sandeep and Harmeet held their nerves to finish it off. Baba Aparajith picks up the Man-of-the-Match award. Thanks for tuning in, do join us again tomorrow for the first Semi Final between South Africa and Australia, until then cheers and bye.
