West Indies score 182 against India
Mohammad Shami was the most successful bowler for India, claiming three wickets for 35 runs while spinner Ravindra Jadeja bagged two wickets for 27 runs. Pacemen Mohit Sharma and Umesh Yadav also took one wicket apiece.
The Caribbeans, who had elected to bat after winning the toss, suffered early blows when top order batsmen Dwayne Smith was first caught behind the wicket off Shami in the fifth over scoring only 6 to be followed by Marlon Samuels (2), Chris Gayle(21) and Denesh Ramdin(0) in the next four overs when the team's total stood at 35 for four.
Lendl Simmons, Jonathan Carter and Andre Russel were the next to go leaving the team tottering at 93 losing seven wickets at the end of the 25th over.
But partnering with Darren Sammy and J Taylor, Holder played a brilliant role to somewhat retrieve the situation for his team .
The match is crucial for West Indies to reach the quarter finals, but with 3/3 wins, India are virtually through to the last-eight stage.
