India will face West Indies in the semifinal of ICC World T-20 at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium this evening. All India Radio will broadcast live commentary on this match from 6.30 PM onwards alternately in Hindi and English. India's record in the World T-20 semifinals has been perfect so far and they would like to keep it that way. Men in Blue are certainly a reckoning force. Kohli's brilliance with bat, Dhoni's as usual calm tactics on the field, spinners taking control, Nehra's experience and Bumrah's death over bowling have all been the highlights. With top order not clicking being the major area of concern, Yuvraj's exit will also hamper the team strategy. Mumbai's Wankhede average score batting first this year has been 170, for that a voiceferous crowd will be up for a run feast. The Caribbean side has been bustling and due to IPL's exposure they feel at home too. Chris Gayle, their ultimate weapon has not been quiet, has a century to his name in this edition and still looks menacing. Samuel Badree's ascension to top bowling spot in T-20 is also an indication that how his slower and slider ones are making an impact in Indian conditions. Overall the match is going to be a cracker but Home side will try to join England on Sunday in Kolkata. Meanwhile, Mumbai's Wankhede stadium will be also hosting the semifinal encounter of women's section between New Zealand and West Indies in a short while from now. New Zealand have won the toss and decided to bowl first.
