So as it stands, Australia are through, and Pakistan are sitting pretty with four points and a net run-rate of +0.273. S Rajesh, our stats man, on Twitter: "If India score 160, they need to win by 32 runs; if they score 140, the margin needs to be at least 31."
Richard: "As a long time suffering South African, you can all say we not surprised. Wondering why Albie Morkel was not playing last 2 games, when quite obviously he was needed? Bahrdien scratched around, and Parnel is more miss than hit. Any other team would bat Albie at 4 or 5 EVERY game right?"

South Africa have lost both their matches in contrasting manners ---- a close defeat against Pakistan and a comprehensive one against Australia.
AB de Villiers and Co. will now want to end the tournament on a respectable note and think of an outside chance of qualifying although their net run-rate might prove to be a deterrent.
Tomorrow, the Indian team will not only have to deal with a South African team that is keen to maintain its reputation as a world class outfit but also have to counter the threat of a man who knows about them like the back of his hand.
Gary Kirsten, definitely India's most successful coach, is now in the opposition ranks and will play a key role in trying to plot the downfall of the 'Men in Blue'
Spin will again play a key role in the match and it will be interesting to see whether Dhoni would go for a second spinner in Harbhajan Singh by dropping senior pro Zaheer Khan.
With the seven-batsman policy paying results and a theory that Dhoni believes in, it remains to be seen whether he would rejig his bowling resources or stick to the winning formula.
The South African batsmen looked distinctly uncomfortable against the off-spin of Mohammed Hafeez and Saeed Ajmal in the match against Pakistan.
Even left-arm slow orthodox bowler Xavier Doherty troubled the Proteas in the last match which will certainly encourage Yuvraj Singh, who has turned into a utility 'bowling all-rounder' in this edition of the World T20.
The big question will be whether the Indian skipper will bring in Harbhajan who can be effective considering the South African line-up features two left-handers in Jean-Paul Duminy and Robin Peterson.
The opening woes, however, is a cause of concern for Dhoni as both Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir have been scratchy in the tournament.
Sehwag, who was brought back for the Pakistan match, showed his intent to stay at the wicket and should be praised for playing an ideal second fiddle to Virat Kohli during the defining 74-run second wicket partnership.
