ICC World T20: Five factors that swung the semi-final India's way

India continued their unbeaten run at the World T20, by comprehensively beating South Africa in the semi-final with 6 wickets in hand and an over to spare. This article focuses on the key moments which shifted the momentum and swung the game India's way.

#1 The prized scalp of Du Plessis

Faf Du Plessis, who scored 58 runs of 41 balls, looked to be in really good touch. India's wily off-spinner, R.Ashwin, got him out just as he began upping the ante. This restricted the South African's from scoring freely in the middle overs. This wicket ensured that the Proteas, who looked set to score a total of around 200, ended up to 30-35 short of that.
