Meanwhile, Kohli put on yet another masterclass notching up 84 off 98 balls. His knock was laced with five boundaries. 

It was a patient knock as Kohli played as per the situation. His knock also earned him the Player of the Match award. 

At the post-match presentation, Kohli decoded his knock and explained how he went about it. 

‘Similar to the other day against Pakistan’ - Kohli

"It was pretty similar to the other day against Pakistan as well. For me it is about understanding the conditions and preparing my game accordingly.. just rotating strike because partnerships on this pitch are the most important thing. My only effort that day and today was to string in enough partnerships. The time that I got out, the plan was to get 20 more and try and finish it off in a couple of overs," Kohli said at the post-match presentation. 

India have sealed their spot in the final where they will play the winner of the second semi-final between New Zealand and South Africa in Dubai on March 9.
