India won by 125 runs
PLAYER OF THE MATCH : Virat Kohli
Batter
Bowler
India the only team yet to be beaten in this tournament. Their middle-order remains a concern, but the way they've bowled, it's more than made up. Just a win away now from guaranteeing a semifinal spot. That's all from us today. Until next time, it's goodbye!
More from Kohli: Dhoni knows exactly what he wants to do in the middle. When he has an off day here and there, everyone starts talking. We always back him. He has won us so many games. The best thing about having someone like him is when you need those 15-20 runs, he knows exactly how to get them. His experience, 8 out of 10 times has come good for us. We have quite a few players who play instinctive cricket and follow their game plans. He's such a keen understanding of the game. Always sends us feedback, that you know 260 is a good score. He's a legend of the game. We all know that. Just hope he can continue. Last two games, things haven't gone like we thought they would. These haven't been massive scoring games. But we've found ways of winning. Intensity has been the standout thing for me. Mindset really matters. Nothing is impossible. We feel we can win from any situation.
Holder, WI captain: Thought the bowlers did a fantastic job on this surface. Just let ourselves down with the bat. In hindsight, Dhoni's (stumping) miss a crucial moment we didn't seize. Let ourselves down significantly in this tournament. Missed a few chances in the field which cost us. Batting was too inconsistent. Can't fault the bowlers. Need to improve. Probably our weakest format, this. Kemar Roach was outstanding today. Youngsters have chipped in here and there. Bowlers had a reasonable campaign. Can't fault their efforts. Fielding, definitely has to improve. So does the batting.
Virat Kohli (MoM) - I can't complain, we just became no. 1 yesterday as far as rankings are concerned, to be honest, we are playing that way for a while, need to continue that way. Things haven't gone our way with the bat in the last two games, but we have still done well to win, that's being the most pleasing thing. Happy with my own contribution as well. We were in a similar situation today (150 odd for 4), but getting to 270 was crucial. Last game, we didn't calculate well, we lost two quick wickets, but today we improved, Hardik played really well and MS finished strongly. When those two play in that way, we always get to a good total. To get to 270 was good, that put pressure on their batting and was very difficult to chase. I don't need to tell anything to my batsmen, they have to adjust according to their strengths and weaknesses and play according to the pitch. That's my game plan, I look to play in my own way, happy to take the ones and twos which I think is a big factor in ODI cricket, around 70% of my runs come in this way. Two difficult pitches, I'm happy with my contribution and look forward to doing more of the same in the future.

17:43 Local Time, 16:43 GMT, 22:13 IST: West Indies are officially out of the race. A really uninspiring performance with the bat today against India's top-quality and well-drilled bowling unit. Relentlessly accurate, no let-ups at all, they just didn't offer anything on a pitch where run-scoring wasn't easy to start with. West Indies' big hitters, without any breathing room, found themselves frustrated and didn't take long to crumble. Where India also did well was to suss up the conditions quickly with the bat, settling for something like 260-270 rather than aiming too high. Now, with 11 points, they have one foot in the semi-finals. Presentations coming up.
Shami to Thomas, out Caught by Rohit!! India seem confident this was off the glove. They've gone for the review. Sharp bouncer from round the wicket, Thomas turned his head away but left his hands up there. Definitely off the glove, before lobbing to slip. All over. Thomas c Rohit b Shami 6(11) [4s-1]
Shami to Thomas, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
Shami to Thomas, no run, full ball just outside off, defended to cover
Kohli's had enough. Shami brought back in

Chahal
7-0-39-2
Chahal to Roach, FOUR, went hard on the drive so even as the edge is found, it loops over slip
Chahal to Roach, no run, tossed up on off, defended off the front foot
Chahal to Roach, no run, and another one beats the outside edge. One of those things when the last-wicket stand is going on
Chahal to Roach, no run, flat, skidding through from back of a length, Roach leans back looking to hoist over extra cover, beaten again
Chahal to Roach, no run, was there an edge? Maybe bat hitting ground. Quicker and fuller outside off, Roach swings and misses. Dhoni didn't hold onto it
Harsha: Birmingham being a square turner, Jadeja must be in for next match. 'They are playing on a different pitch on Sunday'
Chahal to Roach, FOUR, smites this over midwicket. Leg-break on off, Roach now abandoning his defensive approach

Kuldeep Yadav
9-1-35-1
Kuldeep Yadav to Thomas, no run, didn't pick the googly, but luckily, it wasn't all that well directed. Would've easily turned down leg as Thomas wears it on the pad
Kuldeep Yadav to Roach, 1 run, drives a loopy full toss down to long-off
