"The pressure was built by the bowlers and that I think resulted in those breakthroughs we got in the field", Kohli said.
That old chestnut of being unable to perform under pressure in ICC sanctioned events gave South Africa the heebie jeebies against India on Sunday. "Big mistake from my part running AB out". "All in all, it hasn't been a good tournament for us", du Plessis said. Still, South Africa's superstars barely shone.
Sri Lanka looked pedestrian in their opening game defeat at the hands of South Africa, failing collectively in the absence of their captain Angelo Mathews.
You don't see three run-outs in an innings that often.
Now Pakistan are just one game away from a semi-final with either tournament hosts England or Bangladesh and a wary Mathews said: "We all know they're a very unsafe team.
India played the game with more intensity, it took more risks and stuck to its method and game formula far better than the South Africa team", he explained.
"I'm always a fan of that tag". I can't pinpoint any negatives from today, honestly.
"We played a good game of cricket that night; we were right in it until the end". You can't just be labelled as "death bowler" or a swing bowler (in case of Bhuvneshwar Kumar), whenever you are given the ball, you have to contribute.
It was a fantastic bowling effort from India. It surely must have made South Africa go on the back foot.
The two complemented each other superbly in the first 10 overs, neither offering much to South Africa's openers and each contributing to a very quiet start.

This edition features former champions South Africa, who won the inaugural edition in 98', New Zealand in 99', Sri Lanka (co-champions in 01' along with India) and 2-time champions Australia in 06' and 09'.2004 champions West Indies did not qualify for this edition after missing the cut off. All they need to do is get together and believe in themselves.
The South Africans were frustrated by spinners Jadeja, who took 1-39 from his 10 overs without conceding a boundary, and Ashwin, playing his first one-day global since January because of the left-handers in South Africa's lineup. You can see how expressive its game has become since then.
The India vs South Africa match in the Champions Trophy will be telecast live on Star Sports 1, Star Sports HD 1, Star Sports 1 Hindi, Star Sports 1 Hindi HD and free to air channel DD National.
While Kohli led his team to an eight-wicket victory with an unbeaten 76 off 101 balls and Thursday's second semi-final at Edgbaston, de Villiers was left admitting his side "unravelled" in yet another crucial match. That needs to change if it is to win anything major in the future.
