Short and wide outside off, Sammy rocks back and cuts hard in the air, wide of backward point, Shami allows the ball to bounce in front of him and hangs his left-hand out, but the ball turns away and beats him to the fence.

Ravindra Jadeja to J Holder, out Caught by Kohli!! All over. Holder had to go for it and sliced the loft, completely mistimed and Kohli takes an easy skier at long-off. He throws the ball away after catching it and that's the end of the innings. It may have turned a little and that forced the mishit. Ravindra Jadeja does a double fist pump and then blows a cheeky little kiss to Kohli. J Holder c Kohli b Ravindra Jadeja 57(64) [4s-4 6s-3]
43.0 -
U Yadav to Jerome Taylor, out Caught&Bowled!! Taylor is the latest to be afflicted by the top-edge syndrome. He is in no position to play the pull and can only lob a tame catch to Umesh who runs to his right and accepts the invitation. He strikes with the last ball of his spell. Why not defend the last ball, Jerome? When you have Holder doing all the hitting at the other end. Jerome Taylor c and b U Yadav 11(18) [4s-1]
35.4 -

Shami celebrates with the finger pointed upwards. Sammy c Dhoni b Shami 26(55) [4s-2]
24.1 -
Ravindra Jadeja to A Russell, out Caught by Kohli!! 'Awful shot, terrible shot' from Ian Bishop on air. From Bish that is. From the ever-diplomatic Bish. The West Indians are playing this like a T20 game and are simply gifting their wickets away. Russell knew as soon as he hit it, that he was gone. Went for a big slog to a tossed up delivery from Jadeja and finds long-off. Kohli comes forward and accepts the catch. A Russell c Kohli b Ravindra Jadeja 8(8) [6s-1]
21.5 -
Ashwin to J Carter, out Caught by Shami!! Top edge and gone. Good catch by Shami at deep backward square leg. Sweeping against Ashwin on this WACA track is invitation for disaster and Carter now finds out why. Down leg, he connected the sweep well, albeit off a top edge, the ball was swirling away from Shami, with the sun distracting him as well. But he keeps his composure and takes it with both hands over his head. After taking it, he rubs his eyes, suggesting the sun was right in his eyes. J Carter c Shami b Ashwin 21(43) [4s-3]
18.1 -
Mohit Sharma to Simmons, out Caught by U Yadav!! West Indies are five down now. Once again a batsman falls to the short ball.

Umesh reverse-cups it to his chest as Sharma claps the wicket. Simmons c U Yadav b Mohit Sharma 9(22)
9.1 -
U Yadav to Ramdin, out Bowled!! West Indies are falling apart now. Ramdin gets out like this a lot of times.

The Indians in the crowd are jubilant as Ramdin begins the long walk back. Ramdin b U Yadav 0(1)
9.0 -
Shami to Gayle, out Caught by Mohit Sharma!! Gayle's over-aggressive instincts costs him. The short ball does the trick for Shami. Gayle went for the pull and top-edged it to the only man at deep square leg. Mohit settles under it and takes it despite the sun right in his eyes. Shami can't believe his luck and has a nervous smile. The West Indians in the crowd are a shell-shocked lot. Gayle c Mohit Sharma b Shami 21(27) [4s-2 6s-1]
7.2 -
U Yadav to Gayle, out Samuels Run Out!! Hara-kiri from the West Indians. Nearly a catch to mid-on as Gayle spliced the pull, fabulous effort from Mohit, he came charging in and took it on the bounce, after diving forward, he saw that Samuels was halfway and near Gayle. Threw the ball at the non-striker's end, Kohli ran in to collect the throw and effected a simple run-out with Samuels nowhere. That's a gift of a wicket for India. Samuels run out (Mohit Sharma/Kohli) 2(7)
4.5 -
Shami to Dwayne Smith, out Caught by Dhoni!! Shami puts Dwayne Smith out of his misery. Dharmasena had the finger up in a flash. It wasn't there for the cut, it nipped back in and was on a fuller length to be playing the shot, was too close to his body too and Smith just feathered an edge through to Dhoni. Smith's sorry WC continues. Dwayne Smith c Dhoni b Shami 6(20) [4s-1]
40.5 -
U Yadav to Jerome Taylor, 1 run, now Rohit drops one at mid-on. Taylor lofting and skying it, Rohit goes to his right and seemed to have it covered, but as it did with Jaddu earlier, the ball slips through his hands and hits his thigh, before going down. Rohit too was scrambling to pounce on the rebound. A let-off for Taylor
23.0 -
Mohit Sharma to Sammy, no run, dropped by Jaddu at point. Horrible stroke from Sammy, he wound up and skied the length delivery outside off straight up in the air, it was a regulation take for Jadeja but let it slip out of his grasp, despite getting both hands. A couple of his team-mates come up and console him. Sammy gets away with one
6.5 -
Shami to Gayle, 1 run, almost a great catch by Umesh at third man! Gayle threw the bat at a full and wide delivery outside off, a thick outside edge was flying to Umesh's right. He ran and dived full length, had the ball in his grasp, till the moment the hands hit the ground. It still was lodged in his chest as he rolled, but popped out. Nevertheless, a magnificent effort and Dhoni applauds that piece of fielding from Umesh. Would've gone down as one of the catches of the tournament
42.2 -
U Yadav to J Holder, 1 run, back of a length on off, wristed wide of mid-on, that's fifty for Holder. Back-to-back ones too. The West Indians in the crowd have something to cheer about. Raise of the bat and a handshake with Taylor. Richie Richardson applauds that effort
