Batting first after winning the toss, South Africa have set a victory target of 173 runs for India. Earlier, the Proteas were restricted to 172 for 4 in 20 overs. Sri Lanka have already reached the final after they defeated West Indies in the first semi-final yesterday by 27 runs via the Duckworth Lewis method after rain played spoilsport.India, who have been on a roll with four wins on the trot, sit pretty in case of a 'no result' as they would then automatically advance to the final by virtue of finishing higher than South Africa in their respective Super 10 groups.India are the current holders of the World Cup and the Champions Trophy and are chasing a third limited overs crown. South Africa are aiming to break a major tournament hoodoo. They have not won a knock out game at an ICC event in 16 years.
