Romario Shepherd to Sanju Samson, FOUR, India win and it's that man Sanju Samson who has taken them home. Sinks on his knees, looks heavenwards. Then crosses himself. Folds his hands as he thanks the super power above. As soon it cleared mid-on, who went with an outstretched right hand, Samson went on his knees, flings the helmet away to his left. Then the celebrations begin. Full and on leg-stump, Samson gets forward and lofts, the bat turns in the hand, enough elevation to clear mid-on who was not at the edge of the ring. Had he been right back, might have been a chance. India reach the semis

Romario Shepherd to Sanju Samson, SIX, scores level. Again Tilak is pumped in the dugout. Full and following Sanju Samson outside the leg-stump, he stays deep and flicks, has the elevation to clear deep mid-wicket. Pandya with a double fist-pump and Tilak hugs him. That soared off the bat

Shamar Joseph to Shivam Dube, FOUR, timing and four. No-one back at deep point. The off-side field is up. Low full-toss outside off, Shivam Dube stays outside the leg-stump, this time he gets forward and opens the face of the bat to drive and beats point to his right. Forde and Shamar Joseph show their disappointment. Key boundary that for India

Shamar Joseph to Shivam Dube, FOUR, Shivam Dube releases the pressure. It's a low full-toss on middle, from round the wicket, heaved away as Dube stands outside the leg-stump, wide of Powell at long-on and runs away. Ishan and the others are elated in the dugout. Tilak roars

Shamar Joseph to Hardik Pandya, out Caught by Jason Holder!! This time Holder takes it. A low full-toss on middle, Hardik Pandya stays back, wants to heave to leg, the bat comes at an angle and it's a total miscue. Simple catch at extra-cover and Holder moves back to take it. Roars as does Shamar. That was a good delivery. West Indies hanging in there. Hardik Pandya c Jason Holder b Shamar Joseph 17(14) [4s-2]

Jason Holder to Sanju Samson, FOUR, slower-ball off-cutter and good length outside off, Sanju Samson stays back and cuts it hard, backward point doesn't even move to his right, runs away to the deep point fence. Jason Holder grimaces in disappointment

Romario Shepherd to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, full and wide outside off, not the yorker length, Hardik Pandya reaches for it, swings and the loft flies wide of deep extra-cover, to his right. Hardik stayed deep in his crease. The bat turned and still he got it away. Shows the power of the man. After he hit that, turned his body around 360 degrees

Shamar Joseph to Sanju Samson, FOUR, bad bowling and four. Low full-toss and down leg, just needed a tickle and Sanju Samson helps it away wide of Shai Hope to his left

Shamar Joseph to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, went for the leg-stump yorker, but it's not there, full and drifting down, fine-leg was in, Hardik Pandya uses the pace and flicks to the left of the man, races away

India’s T20 WC title defence hinges on Hardik Pandya: Virrender Sehwag

Jason Holder to Sanju Samson, FOUR, blasted wide of cover-point. On a length outside off, maybe the off-pace delivery, Sanju Samson hangs back and belts the cut, raced away off the bat and beats the dive of cover-point to his right. Hardik Pandya just pats Samson on the helmet in a gentle way

Jason Holder to Tilak Varma, out Caught by Shimron Hetmyer!! Good catch and respite for West Indies. Tilak Varma comes down the track and makes room outside the leg-stump, Jason Holder follows him with a full delivery, it's clearing Hettie at mid-off, he backtracks and leaps at the right moment and hauls it in with two hands. That was fingertip job from Hettie as he used all of his height to get there. Tremendous catch and West Indies have a way back into this. Tilak Varma c Shimron Hetmyer b Jason Holder 27(15) [4s-4 6s-1]

Jason Holder to Tilak Varma, FOUR, slammed on a bent back knee. It's one bounce over the ropes and wide of deep extra-cover. Full and wide outside off, in the slot, Tilak Varma smashed that so hard

Roston Chase to Tilak Varma, SIX, looked a miscue when it left the bat. Tilak Varma backs away outside the leg-stump and swipes the length delivery on middle, the bat turns in the hand as he sliced it. But easily clears long-on. 83m hit

Roston Chase to Sanju Samson, FOUR, four more. On a yorker length outside off, Sanju Samson just uses the pace of the delivery, opens the face of the bat and squeezes it out through the vacant backward point area. Sammy is not happy with that delivery

Shamar Joseph to Tilak Varma, FOUR, now Sherfane slips as he goes to his left at deep mid-wicket. That slip allows the ball to go away. Lost his footing and two turns into four. A low full-toss on middle, Tilak Varma gets forward to flick and that's a hat-trick of fours. Sherfane grimaces as he gets up. Again dew playing a part

Shamar Joseph to Tilak Varma, FOUR, again Shamar Joseph lost his run. This time he jogs in and bowls a poor delivery, slower-ball off-cutter and wide outside off, Tilak Varma leans back and cuts hard, wide of backward point and this flies to the deep fence. Two fours in a row and India have the momentum back

Shamar Joseph to Tilak Varma, FOUR, mid-off was in and that's a high-elbowed check-loft. Was on a length on off, Tilak Varma gets forward and then shows the full face of the bat and holds the pose for the cameras. One bounce and four. Some glove-love between Tilak and Sanju Samson

Shamar Joseph to Sanju Samson, FOUR, that is hit so so hard. Full and in the slot outside off, Sanju Samson hangs back and then drills it to the left of Shamar Joseph, no chance for long-off to his right, who's wide

Shamar Joseph to Suryakumar Yadav, out Caught by Sherfane Rutherford!! Shamar Joseph strikes. That drop doesn't cost West Indies much. It's full on off, Suryakumar Yadav makes room and lofts, the face opens on impact, it's flat and dipping on Sherfane, he dives forward and takes it with both hands at sweeper cover. Judged that beautifully. SKY's wife watching on understandably looks disappointed. Just when West Indies needed a wicket, they get it. Suryakumar Yadav c Sherfane Rutherford b Shamar Joseph 18(16) [4s-1 6s-1]

Gudakesh Motie to Sanju Samson, FOUR, in a crucial game Sanju Samson has come good. 50 for him. He punches gloves with SKY, then crosses himself. It's a flat good length delivery outside off, he goes on the back foot and cuts hard, backward point dives to his right and the ball slips away. No chance for sweeper cover to his left. He has faced a lot of testing times in the recent past, lost form, got dropped, but never gave up. Most importantly he looks so calm and composed out there, great signs for India. Also the celebration, he didn't overdo it, just was his calm self. Had a chat with SKY and then got on with it after acknowledging the applause

Romario Shepherd to Sanju Samson, FOUR, sloppy from long-on. He lets it go and gives three more. The crowd love it. Motie the fielder at long-on. He got there and allowed the ball to slip through his hands and legs. Maybe it is greasy out there with the dew. Full on off, Sanju Samson gets forward and drives that, was one at best

Romario Shepherd to Sanju Samson, SIX, floaty slower-ball and the leg-cutter flies for six. It's outside off and Sanju Samson gets forward and times the loft, really hit that well and it flies way back into the crowd at long-off

Gudakesh Motie to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, that is such a risky shot. But SKY almost never misses those. It's full on middle and leg, Suryakumar Yadav gets low and inside the line, sweeps it wide of the short fine fielder, who dives to his left and can't cut it off

Gudakesh Motie to Sanju Samson, FOUR, flat good length outside off, dragged down, Sanju Samson goes on the back foot and slices across it, well wide of long-off, runs away, bad start by Gudakesh Motie

Jason Holder to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX, that's SKY's favorite shot. It's a length delivery outside off, he shuffles across and heaves it over deep backward square-leg, all the way, the key was getting inside the line and then putting it away. Went 74m

Jason Holder to Sanju Samson, FOUR, flat-batted wide of mid-off. It's a short of length delivery outside off, mid-off was wide and Sanju Samson goes on the back foot and hammers it, needed a dive from the fielder, which didn't come off

Matthew Forde to Sanju Samson, FOUR, the floaty back of the hand slower-ball outside off, full, Sanju Samson reaches for it to loft, off the bottom of the bat, but over backward point and runs away. Samson got lucky there, could've so easily gone straight up

Like Rahul, Tilak can bat at any position & deliver: Manoj Tiwary

Jason Holder to Ishan Kishan, out Caught by Shimron Hetmyer at deep square-leg!! Looked like a good hit but again that man Hetmyer. Jason Holder punches the air as he roars in delight. A short of length delivery just outside off, Ishan Kishan goes on the back foot and pulls, it's a flat hit, Hettie moves to his right and reverse-cups that just inside the cushions. Holder strikes in his first over. Ishan Kishan c Shimron Hetmyer b Jason Holder 10(6) [4s-2]

Jason Holder to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, sliced and over extra-cover. Full outside off, Ishan Kishan gets forward to loft, the bat turns and the face opens, but he clears extra-cover, runs away

Matthew Forde to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, full and on middle, shapes back in, Ishan Kishan gets forward and flicks over mid-wicket, well wide of deep mid-wicket and it's four more

Akeal Hosein to Abhishek Sharma, out Caught by Shimron Hetmyer!! Abhishek Sharma takes the risk and it doesn't come off. A back of a length delivery on middle and leg, Abhishek goes on the back foot and pulls, doesn't time it, lots of height and Hetymer is one of the safest fielders in this side, he comes in from deep square-leg and goes on his knee to take it the conventional way with two hands. Never looked like dropping it. Deathly silence at the Eden Gardens. The over had already gone for plenty and still Abhishek got greedy. Paid the price. Abhishek Sharma c Shimron Hetmyer b Akeal Hosein 10(11) [4s-2]

Akeal Hosein to Sanju Samson, SIX, Akeal Hosein under pressure. This is a good length delivery on off and middle, Sanju Samson picks the length so early, so quickly, goes on the back foot and pulls over deep mid-wicket, all the way. The crowd get into the act

Akeal Hosein to Sanju Samson, SIX, this is a poor delivery. This is full and down leg, Sanju Samson sinks on one knee, sweeps aerially and it's a six all the way over deep backward square-leg. The fielder was at deep square-leg

Akeal Hosein to Sanju Samson, FOUR, flat good length on off, Sanju Samson backs away and cuts well, wide of cover-point and extra-cover, races away

Matthew Forde to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, short of length and angling into the left-hander around off, Abhishek Sharma goes on the back foot and pulls over mid-wicket, on to the practice wickets and runs away. Matthew Forde came round the wicket and tried to angle it in with a wide slip in, one bounce over the ropes

Akeal Hosein to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, wide and full outside off, that's Abhishek Sharma's strength, he gets forward and carves the loft over extra-cover, easy boundary. Akeal Hosein knows he erred there

Arshdeep Singh to Rovman Powell, SIX, that is a poor ball first up from Arshdeep Singh. 133ks full on middle and leg, Rovman Powell plays the whippy flick and times it superbly to get the ball sailing for a 69-metre maximum over square leg. Pure class from Rovman Powell...

Hardik Pandya to Sherfane Rutherford, out Caught by Sanju Samson!! Whatever the message was from Sammy, Rutherford clearly had other ideas. He tosses his bat in disgust as the crowd find their voice yet again. Off-cutter dug into the surface and angling away from the left-hander. Rutherford tries to play a cheeky dab and sends a healthy outside edge through to the keeper. As soon as Samson took the catch, he started celebrating and umpire Alex Wharf did not even bother to put his finger up as Rutherford started walking straightaway.

Axar Patel to Sherfane Rutherford, SIX, uppishhhh and tipped over the bar. This guy can turn a game single-handedly. Beware, India! Tilak ran to the left and jumped but he could only get his fingertips to it and the ball escaped over the rope. Wonder why Tilak was well inside the rope. Flatter delivery, Rutherford smashed it flat over mid-wicket and got the six

Jasprit Bumrah to Roston Chase, out Caught by Suryakumar Yadav!! In the airrrr and SKY is literally in the sky taking that great catch. Chase got sucked into the shot early by this lovely slower delivery that jumped on him. Chase tried to check his defence. Ball lobbed off the splice of the bat. SKY had to run to the right and stretch full length beyond him to have a chance and he managed to cling on getting both hands to it. The timing of the jump was the key and SKY was spot on. Roston Chase c Suryakumar Yadav b Jasprit Bumrah 40(25) [4s-5 6s-1]

Jasprit Bumrah to Shimron Hetmyer, out Caught by Sanju Samson!! "Clear spike with the ball on the bat," says the third ump and make it 6 dismissals in 23 balls for Jasprit Bumrah v Shimron Hetmyer in T20s. It had to be him bowling the 10th over when Hety just came on but India chanced their arm and conceded a few runs. The moment Bumrah came on, he dismissed Hety in 2 balls. This was a short of length delivery angling across the left-hander. Hetmyer tried to slog too far across the line, inside edge through to Sanju and Bumrah was very confident in his appeal. Umpire Chris Gaffaney rasied the finger. Hety wanted it checked and UltraEdge vindicated the call. Shimron Hetmyer c Sanju Samson b Jasprit Bumrah 27(12) [4s-1 6s-2]

Varun Chakaravarthy to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR, short and wide, slapped past cover and the sweeper couldn't cut it off. This is a great start by Hety once again

Hardik Pandya to Shimron Hetmyer, SIX, that strike-rate will further go up now in that matchup! He loves facing Hardik and Hety smacks this slot ball over wide long-on for a handsome hit

Varun Chakaravarthy to Shai Hope, out Bowled!! Varun strikes in his first over and that's a good sign for India. Him being in form in so critical for India. Hope stays leg-side to access the off-side. This ball skidded off the pitch, came in with the angle, sneaked under the bat to hit the middle of middle stump. India open the account. Shai Hope b Varun Chakaravarthy 32(33) [4s-3 6s-1]

Axar Patel to Roston Chase, FOUR,Chase is keen to up the ante. The reverse sweep now and he gets it fine to the left of short third man. Flatter delivery from Axar Patel and Chase used the pace on the ball

Hardik Pandya to Roston Chase, SIX, that is a brilliant shot! Just got inside the line to smack this slot ball over wide long-on. Just a loft through the line with some wrist work to send it in that direction

Axar Patel to Roston Chase, FOUR, nicely swept! Fine leg up, backward square leg up so Chase gets inside the line and played it over the infield for four more

Axar Patel to Shai Hope, FOUR, full toss and smashed! Hope says thank you very much and smashes it through cover for an easy four

India lacking a Rohit Sharma-style leader this T20 World Cup: Vaughan

Jasprit Bumrah to Roston Chase, FOUR, oh innovative. Jasprit Bumrah wasn't expecting Chase to get inside the line and try the scoop. It was a full ball at normal pace so Chase managed to get under it and it almost went all the way

Axar Patel to Shai Hope, FOUR, classy shot from Hope. Nothing wrong with the ball. Flatter and almost at the stumps but Hope made room, opened the bat face slightly to guide this late and he's got it to the left of backward point. Third man was up so no chance of stopping that

Arshdeep Singh to Roston Chase, FOUR, Arshdeep Singh overpitches again and gets punished. The man at short cover or mid-off didn't move. Slot ball, Chase came forward for a brilliant cover drive between the two

Arshdeep Singh to Roston Chase, FOUR, lovely lofted drive! Arshdeep has been looking to swing it away close to off stump. The moment he saw the ball land in the fuller length region Chase went with a straight loft and one bounce towards the sightscreen

Hardik Pandya to Shai Hope, FOUR, lovely cover drive! Deliberate attempt to stay leg-side of this length delivery to drive on the rise. Opened the bat face slightly to split the gap between cover-point and cover. Good over for the West Indies. Hardik will not be happy with the finish because it was a tad fuller than he wanted

Hardik Pandya to Shai Hope, SIX, that will settle him. Hope hung back, let this short of length delivery come and played a flicky-pull over mid-wicket. Got a lot of height on that and just enough legs to clear deep mid-wicket. Finally West Indies get going
