Riding on Mohammed Shami's fiery spell, India hammered West Indies by 125 runs to inch closer to securing a place in the semi-finals. Shami and Jasprit Bumrah bowled tight lines upfront to put the West Indies openers under pressure. Shami picked up two wickets in his opening spell to put West Indies on the backfoot. Sunil Ambris and Nicholas Pooran added 55 runs for the third wicket. After their departure none of the West Indian batsmen could hold fort which resulted in their side suffering a humiliating defeat. Earlier, Virat Kohli won the toss and chose to bat. India managed to post 268/7 in 50 overs, thanks to a typical MS Dhoni finish at the Old Trafford in Manchester on Thursday. West Indies produced a disciplined bowling performance to restrict India to a competitive total. Indian skipper Virat Kohli top-scored with 82-ball 72 while MS Dhoni and Hardik Pandya also made vital contributions to India's total. Virat Kohli achieved yet another milestone and became the fastest to score 20,000 international runs. (SCORECARD)

West Indies are struggling to build a partnership here – they are 98/5 after 23.5 overs. #WIvIND | #TeamIndia | #CWC19 pic.twitter.com/K9ZZM7wXHB - 21:11 (IST)Four byes!Yuzvendra Chahal's ball turns sharply beating everyone, including Dhoni, and races away to the fence. You don't see Dhoni missing so many balls behind wickets but such has been the day. He has conceded nine byes so far which is the maximum he has given in his whole career in one innings.
- 20:03 (IST)Clean bowled!Shai Hope, who played an exquisite drive on the previous ball, leans forward to play another drive but the ball nipped back in and went between bat and pad to dislodge the bails. This is quality bowling form Shami.
BOWLED HIM!

Gayle departsThe pressure was mounting on Chris Gayle as he had consumed too many dot balls and never looked in. Mohammed Shami persisted with his short ball and reaped the reward as Gayle went for a cross-batted pull shot but hit ball straight to Kedar Jadhav at mid-on who makes no mistake and completes a simple catch to give West Indies huge blow.
