Those who saw the semi final of the on going T20 ICC World Cup Cricket tonight at Mumbai would remember it for a long time. The second semi final of the tournament between hosts India and Sammy's 11 of the West Indies was simply a classic display of strong nerves of the West Indies.

India was first to bat and gave a target of 193 to the West Indians with a massive 89 not out by Kohli. Indian scored 192 in all 20 overs.

Coming to bat, the West Indians infused thrill in the match as the target was within sight but with a few runs at hand. West Indies' Simmons was caught thrice but on each occasion a no ball was given and the lucky man went on hitting and was at 82 when a massive six brought victory to Sammy's men, with only two balls remaining. They won b y seven wickets.

It may be added that despite massive, rather 100%, support of the entire crowd watch the match, clapping for India and staying mum for the West Indies, the Sammy's boys were unnerved and concentrated on winning and they finally won.

West Indians now face England in the final. England moved to final by beating favourites New Zealand by 7 wickets.
