Sri Lanka, March 5 -- India 267/6 (Kohli 84, Iyer 45, Rahul 42, Ellis 2-49, Zampa 2-60) beat Australia 264 (Smith 73, Carey 61, Shami 3-48, Jadeja 2-40, Varun 2-49) by five wickets

Virat Kohli gave another masterclass on how to bat under pressure in a run chase as he produced a match-winning knock that sent India into the final of the Champions Trophy on Tuesday.

Kohli's masterly 84 helped India chase down a tricky target of 265 against Australia in the first semi-final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, which has typically produced low-scoring contests.

Kohli hit only five boundaries in his disciplined knock as he focused more on risk-free accumulation of runs after India slumped to 43-2 in the eighth over.
