Occasion:- Semi-final

Venue:- Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai

India went into the semi-finals of the 2016 World Twenty20 riding on the shenanigans of Virat Kohli, who scored a match-winning 51-ball-82 against the Australians to knock them out of the competition.

Kohli was at it again in front of the boisterous Wankhede crowd after Rahane (40) and Rohit (43) had got the Indians off to a flier. Kohli amassed a brilliant 47-ball-89 to lead his side to 2-192 in 20 overs.

India accounted for Gayle (5) and Samuels (8) early and when Ravi Ashwin had Lendl Simmons caught at third-man, it seemed the game was well and truly into the home team's grasp.

The moment of joy soon turned into agony for the Men in Blue as well as their supporters as Ashwin had clearly overstepped the line. Simmons got yet another reprive when Hardik Pandya had him caught at the extra cover; only to walk back in an anguish of overstepping the line.

Simmons made full use of the two chances and compiled a match-winning 51-ball-82 to lead his team into the World Twenty20 Finals.
