SA 113-5 (16 ovs) vs India 152-5

India's hopes of advancing to the semi-finals rests on keeping SA under 15 runs from the next five overs.

So, basically India need a miracle to progress or they will hope SA will choke as they usually do.

Robin Peterson takes a single from the first ball of Ashwin's third over before Behardien blocks the second ball and gets a single from the next to long-on.

Peterson plays a reckless shot to throw his wicket away. He plays the reverse sweep but hits it straight to Balaji at point. Just as he starts walking back, he is asked to wait as the umpires wait to check on the no-ball and replays show Ashwin has overstepped the crease.

So Peterson gets a reprieve and also a free hit. 12 more runs and India are out.

Peterson has not learnt from his mistake and he tries the reverse sweep again but he misses again and he is bowled.

Will Peterson try it again? This time he chips down the track and lofts it over the cover fielder for a couple before a single from the last ball.
