first of all its indias fault they dont use drs , duminy was literally plumb in front of the wicket by kumar in the 17th over , you pay the consequences of your arrogance , duminy gone was literally game set match india
It was anybody's match.Either side could have won which SA won and with little bit of luck even India could have won it.It was a close competitive match and so India need not lose heart and take the positives to apply course corrections especially in the bowling front where it does need a little bit more bite. Axar Patel's 22 runs over cost the match ? It was one of the turning points but these things can happen in T20 matches and even India had one over of 21 runs of Imran Tahir ! Pacers allowing SA flyer @12 runs per over at the start was a major factor that put India on the back foot. Bhuvi looks a bit rusty with straying in line and could be replaced with Bhajji who is a T20 specialist having won many games for MI both with ball and bat. In fact playing XI should reflect likely T20 WC line up and I think India must plan 3 spinners strategy as the Indian pacers are certainly not match winners in Indian conditions. Their role besides giving a good start has to be mainly to bowl in death overs effectively to restrict the opposition as spinners cannot be use in death overs. Thus inclusion of Bhajji along with Axar Patel could be the best strategy.Also, using all-rounder Binny in place of a pacer/spinner could be the other alternative to be used depending upon conditions. Of the other two pacers Mohit and Arvind need to be more consistent. While Arvind bowled well in his 2nd spell let’s hope Mohit will be more successful with short deliveries in the two bigge

it is crystal clear that dhoni and raina failed to add 20 to 25 more runs due to lack of practice team director must note the poor show by Indians in slog overs while batting especially last 3-4 overs
