Match Highlights 

India came into the contest needing nothing less than a win to secure their place in the semi-finals. The Indian captain won the toss and opted to field first.

Brandon King and Shai Hope gave West Indies a steady start. The new ball was not spared by either batter, and they raised fifty before the completion of the powerplay.

Roston Chase also accelerated in the middle overs, scoring 40 from as many as 25 deliveries. Jason Holder struck an unbeaten 37 off 22 balls to help West Indies finish strongly, reaching 195/4.

While India went at about ten runs an over, Jasprit Bumrah again proved his worth with two wickets which kept the Caribbean side from reaching 200.

Samson Leads India’s Record Chase 

After Abhishek Sharma started the Indian run chase off briskly, it was Sanju Samson who brought the innings completely under control.

Samson balanced classy elegance with purposeful aggression, harshly punishing deliveries which were short and driving orthodox spinners proficiently. He never let the required run rate go up out of control, even with wickets tumbling at the other end.

Tilak Varma at an important score of 27 from mere 15 balls and Suryakumar Yadav also did some cameo efforts.

Samson remained not out on 97 off just 42 balls as he hit a six and the winning boundary in the last over after India needed seven runs from six balls. It was also the highest successful chase by India in T20 World Cup.
