Yuvraj powers India to competitive total

By Staff

DURBAN, South Africa, Sep 22 (Reuters) Yuvraj Singh hammered 70 runs to power India to 188 for five in their Twenty20 World Cup semi-final against Australia today.

Yuvraj shared 84 runs off 40 balls with Robin Uthappa (34) for the third wicket after India won the toss and chose to bat.

The 25-year-old, who smashed six sixes in an over against England earlier in the week, launched the Australia bowlers for five fours and five sixes during a knock that lasted just 30 balls.

He was dismissed in the 18th over when he lifted a delivery from fast bower Stuart Clarke to Michael Hussey at wide mid-on.

Medium pacer Mitchell Johnson was Australia's most effective bowler with a return of two for 31.

The winner of the match will face Pakistan in the final on Monday.
