Road Safety World Series Semifinal Highlights: Australia Legends scored 171/5 in 20 overs against India Legends in the first semifinal after the match resumed on Thursday. India Legends were led in their chase by Naman Ojha (90*) but were in a crisis after a heap of wickets in the middle overs. Irfan Pathan (37* off 12 balls) came out blazing at the death to take India home with 4 balls to spare.
India have now reached the final and will meet the winner of the match between Sri Lanka Legends and West Indies Legends in the final on Saturday.
Highlights:
Brett Lee bowls the last over with just 3 runs to get for victory. He has been brilliant so far. Just 13 runs in his 3 overs so far. Could he provide another surprise in the 20th over?
No, he can't. Pathan finishes it with a six! India won this match in the death overs - what a grand entry Pathan made when India Legends needed a saviour.
It's a flurry of boundaries in the 18th and 19th! Irfan Pathan with back to back sixes against Dirk Nannes to send him hurtling home through the dykes of Netherlands!
IND 167/5 after 18.3, need 5 runs in 9 balls
Irfan Pathan smashes a six over long on to give Naman Ojha some support. A four to end the over.
IND 136/5, need 36 in 3 overs
Further disaster for India! Binny caught in the deep and then Yusuf Pathan caught behind. India are losing their middle order in a heap. Naman Ojha (79*) being stranded on one end.

Australia's spinners get into the act in the middle overs as India's batters find it tough going. Suresh Raina finally gives out, his poor tournament continues. Yuvraj Singh enters at 4.
IND 64/2 after 9
Naman Ojha gets into his stride against Dirk Nannes. Hits the first six of the innings. Brett Lee is on the money again in the 5th over but Sachin manages to cut an aerial shot for four over point.
But he falls to an unusual shot. His leg stump is cleaned up as he misses an attempt to sweep a seamer. Raina follows him at 3.
IND 39/1 after 5.3
Dirk Nannes takes the new ball alongside Lee and he too gets decent swing. Ojha manages to find the fence twice against him. Lee then comes back to bowl an over which completely outfoxes the Indians - just 1 run off it.
