India innings
20th over: Sanju Samson finishes it off in style with a six and a four to take India over the line in style. He remains unbeaten on 97 as India (199/5) beat West Indies (195/4) by five wickets to reach semi-final.
19th over: OUT! This time, Jason Holder holds on to dismiss Hardik Pandya. Could there be a late twist in the tale? Well, Shivam Dube says no. First ball he faced and dispatched it for a FOUR. And then some as India need just 7 off the last over.
18th over: Gets easier for India. Sanju Samson beats Virat Kohli for India’s highest individual score in a T20 World Cup chase. As Karthik points out, even Kohli would applaud this knock from ‘Chetta’.
17th over: DROPPED! Could that be the final nail in the coffin for the West Indies? It’s Jason Holder who’s put down Hardik Pandya. India get closer, on the cusp of reaching the semi-final of this T20 World Cup.
15th over: OUT! Tilak Varma departs. He was looking so good. Why did he have to do that? Hetmyer takes another one.
14th over: Seems to be getting easy for India. A boundary to start the over from Samson and a SIX from Tilak to end it. Another good over for India as they get 14 from it.
13th over: Return of the boundaries as Samson, Tilak combine to hit four in this over. 17 off it. This is more like what India needed. Samson bludgeoned one down the ground, and Tilak timed his equally beautifully to loft the ball over the bowler. Next ball, he cuts it with impeccable precision to carve it through the off-side. What makes it worse for West Indies is Rutherford’s poor effort in the field, allowing the ball to hit the boundary cushions.
12th over: Oh what a stunning over! No boundaries, only three singles off it. India’s required rate now spikes up to 11 an over. You can cut the tension with a knife.
11th over: Yikes! Suryakumar holes up in the deep. India lost their third, but Samson’s fifty keeps them alive in this chase. Shamar Joseph with the wickets. Eden is silenced, but out walks Tilak Varma to prove a point.
10th over: It’s the West Indies’ turn now to become sloppy. Motie drops a caught and bowled chance to give Suryakumar Yadav a lifeline. Meanwhile, Sanju Samson completes a fine half-century with a boundary. The stakes were high, the occasion big and what a way to light it up.
9th over: SIX! In the slot from Shepherd, and Samson gives it his all. Drill it over deep cover for a massive hit. Then follows it up for a FOUR thanks to some poor fielding from Gudakesh Motie at long-on. Fifty partnership comes up, Samson approaching a half-century of his own
8th over: Another over starts with a boundary. Samson takes on Gudakesh Motie to ensure India keep ticking away. Suryakumar then sweeps off the last ball to end the over with a boundary.
7th over: Samson and Suryakumar break the shackles. Just when the boundaries seemed to have stopped coming, Samson hits Holder back down the ground for a FOUR. Surya then plays his favourite scoop for a SIX. India breathe; ‘SS’ settles some nerves.
6th over: A not-so-convincing shot from Samson, but he had enough to jaywalk to the boundary. With that, India’s fifty comes up. But otherwise, a decent over for the West Indies.
5th over: Another wicket! Ishan Kishan looked so good but even as he middled the ball, Shimron Hetmyer got under it to hand India a huge setback. This must ring a few alarm bells in that Indian camp.
4th over: Ishan Kishan takes off. Flicks Forde for his first boundary as India reach 37/1. Samson was kept quiet but he took a single to bring Ishan on strike, who gets going.
3rd over: Two sixes and a wicket! Sanju Samson fires away! A FOUR and a SIX to start the over after 11 off the first two overs. Oh wait! Make that another SIX in the over. Akeal Hossain under the pump. But wait! What’s that? Abhishek is GONE. Top edges to Shimron Hetmyer.
2nd over: FOUR! Starts the second over from Matthew Forde with a FOUR, but the timing’s not quite there from Abhishek. And the West Indies understand that. Top edges the ball onto his helmet, which requires a concussion test. No harm done. Sanju Samson gets off the mark as well.
1st over: Abhishek Sharma gets himself and India off the mark with a boundary early on. Remember, India need to pull off their highest successful chase in the history of the T20 World Cup. Five off the first over as India’s chase is underway.
West Indies Innings
20 overs: Bumrah bleeds 20 off the last over as West Indies finish on 195/4. India need to pull off a record chase at the T20 World Cup to qualify for the semi-finals. Else, they can kiss their chances goodbye.
19th over: Finally, the over that India needed! After leaking 24 in his last over, Arshdeep finishes well, giving away six in India’s penultimate over. Over to Jasprit Bumrah now.
18th over: Bumrah pulls it back but still gives away 12. Varun’s sloppy work doesn’t help. West Indies 175 already, with the final two overs coming up.
17th over: Consecutive big over for the Windies! This time Holder takes Chakaravarthy for 14.
16th over: 24 off the over. A gift from Arshdeep Singh as he gives away 5 wides. To make matters worse, Rovman Powell throws the kitchen sink to send the ball high into the stands. As Ravi Shastri said, ‘the sound of the ball could be heard all the way till Howrah Bridge’. The last two balls bring SIX and FOUR.
15th over: What a start after the break. Hardik Pandya outsmarts the cheeky Sherfane Rutherford to pick up West Indies’ fourth wicket. Reasons to cheer for Windies as Jason Holder ends the over with a six
14th over: India took their chance, but it wasn’t to be as Suryakumar Yadav’s DRS call didn’t help. Rovman Powell survives a close LBW shout. West Indies’ run rate is still strong at 8.5, and with six overs left, expect plenty of fireworks.
13th over: Tilak Varma drops a catch, although a tough one. Sherfane Rutherford has announced himself early with a six off Axar, but the left-arm spinner does well to keep the remaining over clean.
12th over: Huge moment in the game as Bumrah picks two in the over. He returned for his second spell to dismiss the dangerous Hetmyer. The batter was convinced he did not nick it, and took the DRS, but even as the ball flicked his lowers, ultra-edge also showed a spike. Hetmyer and coach Darren Sammy can’t believe it. And if that wasn’t enough, Bumrah did it again penultimate ball of the over, with a slower ball doing the trick to remove the well-set Roston Chase.
11th over: TUCKED into him! Shimron Hetmyer middles Chakaravarthy for his second six of the innings and the 19th of this World Cup. Sloppy from Axar Patel as well, with Hetmyer helping himself to another four in the over.
10th over: The dangerous Shimron Hetmyer is up and away! Hardik lands one in the slot, and the left-hander pummels it for a six. He is the tournament’s joint-leading six-hitter with 18 maximums.
9th over: WICKET! Varun Chakaravarthy does it! At last, India have a wicket. The ball turns sharply and beats Shai Hope, who was all over that shot. That brings out the dangerous Shimron Hetmyer.
8th over: Another good over for the West Indies. Suryakumar does well to prevent a boundary but the West Indies would look to explode now that they’ve reached 66/0.
7th over: Chase brings up the 50 for West Indies. Hardik bowled four very good deliveries, but Chase broke the momentum by smashing the next one for a SIX. It’s getting worrisome for India now, who continue to search for a wicket.
6th over: End of the Powerplay. The West Indies have done well not to lose a wicket and still score 45. Chase sweeps Axar for his fourth boundary. India would have hoped for better, but the scoring rate hasn’t yet slipped into the dangerous category.
5th over: Terrible from Abhishek Sharma as he drops a regulation chance. Roston Chase scooped Bumrah for a six, but the India pacer foxed him as he top-edged the next ball. Abhishek had all the time in the world to grab it, but guess what? He grassed it.
4th over: Great recovery from Axar! After a boundary off the first ball, Roston Chase took a break, but it immediately impacted West Indies’ scoring as the next five balls brought nothing.
3rd over: India had a chance for a breakthrough here, but Varun Chakaravarthy throws the ball at the wrong end. Both batters were in the middle of the pitch, but the poor throw allowed them to recover and make ground. A wake-up call for the West Indies, perhaps because it makes Roston Chase go with two boundaries.
2nd Over: Ah! There’s the over the West Indies needed. After three very tight deliveries from Hardik Pandya, a desperate Shai Hope took him for a SIX and a FOUR to end the over on a high
1st over: Arshdeep Singh set the tone early; India begin tightly against the West Indies.
Suryakumar Yadav appeared relaxed and upbeat at the toss, choosing to field first, but admitted there is still some tension in the dressing room and that the players are focused following the emphatic win over Zimbabwe. India resisted the urge to tinker with a winning combination, sticking with the same XI as Sanju Samson held on to his spot at the top. West Indies, however, made a tactical tweak by drafting in Akeal Hosein to bolster their spin attack.

"You never want to end at this stage": Shai Hope!
After West Indies’ campaign came to a disappointing end against India, skipper Shai Hope admitted his side fell just short in key phases of the chase, reflecting on missed opportunities with the bat while also crediting his bowlers for keeping them in the contest until the very end.
"Maybe a few short, especially on a chasing ground such as this. Probably could have gone a bit more at the end. Probably could have got more at the start as well. Bumrah is one of their main strike bowlers. Whenever he has got the ball in his hands something is going to happy. Hety was going really well. I thought we were good. The way we adapted to different conditions was good. Forde was good with the ball. Akeal got us wickets as well. Just didn't get over the line today to continue the tournament. You never want to end at this stage. One more game you are in the semis and if you have a good game you are in the final. We got to make sure you play the best cricket on the day. Take the crucial moments and capitalize," Shai Hope said after the match.

“Learning from the greats like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma…”
Sanju Samson credited the invaluable lessons he picked up from stalwarts like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Having observed them closely from the dugout, Samson believes those quiet years of learning shaped his understanding of finishing games and adapting to match situations.
“I think that’s why I have been playing this format for a very long time. I think playing IPL around 10 to 12 years and playing for the country from last 10 years, I have not been playing, but looking from the dugout, learning from the greats like Virat Kohli, from Rohit Sharma, like all the greats. I think it’s very important to observe and learn and see what they were doing. I think that really helped me to, I think with my experience, I have only played maybe 50, 60 games, but I’ve seen around 100 games and I’ve seen how the greatest people have finished the games and how do they change their game according to the game,” Samson said.

IND vs WI Live Score: Under immense pressure in a virtual quarterfinal, Sanju Samson delivered the knock of his life. His unbeaten 97 not only powered India into the semi-final but also marked a deeply personal milestone for the wicketkeeper-batter, who had waited years for a defining moment on the international stage. For the Kerala batter, it wasn’t just a match-winning knock — it was the fulfilment of a lifelong dream in Indian colours and a moment he had patiently waited for from the sidelines.
“It means the whole world to me actually. Right from the day I started dreaming of playing for the country, this is what I was waiting for. I have been playing this format for a very long time. I was learing from the dugout watching the likes of Virat and greats from the game. I wanted to build a partnership. I never felt that I will do something special like this. One of the greatest days of my life. They do bring a lot of support and energy. I just watched the ball and trusted myself to play the shots," Samson said after winning Player of the Match.
