2.31pm And that is that. India are in the semis, and they'll face England in Providence, Guyana, on June 26. If today was revenge for November 19, 2023, they'll now be looking forward to exacting revenge for November 10, 2022. Who will play the other semi-final, though? South Africa will be one of the teams. The other could be Afghanistan, or Australia, or even Bangladesh. We'll know later today, after the last match of the Super Eight. It will be thrilling without doubt, so make sure you tune into our coverage. Until then, it's goodbye from me, Alan, Raghav and Chandan.

Rohit again: "It's quite satisfying, especially when you play like that. We knew the threat of this opposition, but we kept doing the things we know best, and we can take a lot of confidence from that. 200 is obviously a good score, but when you're playing on grounds like this where wind is a factor, anything is possible, but I thought we used the conditions very well. It was very pleasing to see how we were getting through those overs and getting the wickets at the same time. Kuldeep, we understand the strengths he has, but you have to use it when you need it. The pitches in New York were seamer-friendly, but we knew he would play a big role later. We don't want to do anything different [in the knockouts], we want to play the same way, understand what the individuals need to do in a given situation, and play freely. So far we've been doing that consistently, and semi-finals, we have to try and do the same thing. It'll be nice [to play England]. Nothing changes for us, we want to focus on what we can do as a team, and take the game on."

Mitchell Marsh: "It's disappointing. Still technically a chance to go through, and today India got the better of us. I think over the course of 40 overs there's a lot of small margins, but honestly, India were the better team. We've seen for 15 years what Rohit Sharma can do in that kind of mood, and he got off to an absolute flier. In a run chase like that, you're in it if you can keep it at tens for as long as possible, but India were too good for us. Come on, Bangladesh!"

Rohit Sharma, India's captain, is the Player of the Match. "I thought right from over no. 1, there was a strong breeze blowing across. They changed their plan, bowling against the breeze, so I realised I had to open up the off side as well. You've got to factor in the breeze, and understand that the bowlers are smart as well, and open up all sides of the field. When you keep an open mind and not just think of one shot, you can access all areas of the field. It was a good wicket, and you want to try and back yourself to play those kinds of shots. I've been trying to do that for a few years now, and I'm glad it came off today. The fifties and hundreds don't matter, I wanted to bat with the same tempo and carry on. You want to make big scores, yes, but at the same time you want to make the bowlers think where the next shot is coming, and I think I managed to do that today."

2.15pm India win by 24 runs. A comprehensive margin, far more comprehensive than they would have hoped when Travis Head was smacking them all over the park. Terrific comeback with the ball, begun by Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel and finished off by the fast bowlers. In the end, we can say this was a new-ball pitch for the batters, with the ball not quite coming on in both innings once it became older. India are into the semis, and for Australia, the situation is this: they are out if Afghanistan win tomorrow, or if Bangladesh win big (eg: by 62 runs if they score 160). It's out of their hands now, a situation they've not usually known in big tournaments like this.

JOYDEEP GILL: "This Rohit innings prove in 19th November how crucial catch was taken by Travis head of Rohit if he wasn't catch that catch then maybe India could've been odis champions "

Prasanth: "If BD batted sensibly against India to reduce the margin of defeat, it would have looked easier for them to win today and qualify. Interesting format, one loss and suddenly the exit door is open!"

Pandya to Starc, 1 run, slower offcutter again, dug in short and wider outside off this time. Flat-bats it, and the ball comes to a rest a short distance away in front of cover
19.5
0
Pandya to Starc, no run, another slower short ball, angling across Starc to finish outside off. Again he's flummoxed by the lack of pace, goes for the pull and misses
19.4

Pandya to Starc, no run, slower short ball finishes in the corridor, and Starc half-pulls and misses again
19.3
0
Pandya to Starc, no run, slower ball, back of a length, angling across the stumps. Pulls and misses

Stays over the wicket to Starc.

19.2
1
Pandya to Cummins, 1 run, dropped, and by Jadeja of all people. Slower short ball outside off, and Cummins clears his front leg and hits with the turn of the offcutter. Jadeja dives forward at deep midwicket, but this is very much catchable for him. Doesn't get his hands around the ball
19.1
2
Pandya to Cummins, 2 runs, slower ball, back of a length, close to off stump. Flat-batted down towards long-on

Hardik to finish, with Australia needing 29.

Round the wicket to Starc.

Bumrah to Cummins, 1 run, yorker, angling into the base of off and middle. Makes room and jabs it away to the right of backward point, meeting the ball on the full
18.4
0
Bumrah to Cummins, no run, in the blockhole outside off, angling in. Looks to open his bat face and squeeze it away but can't make contact
18.3
6
Bumrah to Cummins, SIX, length ball outside off, and that carried way further than it seemed it would when Cummins hit it. Just a flick with no follow-through, and it sails over the straight midwicket boundary, impelled by the wind no doubt
18.2
0
Bumrah to Cummins, no run, slower ball into the pitch, outside off, misses the pull
18.1
1b
Bumrah to Starc, 1 bye, length ball angling into the stumps, straightens a touch and bounces over off stump after Starc clears his front leg and misses the hoick. They look to steap a bye, and Pant concedes an overthrow with a shy to the bowler's end

Bumrah to finish his quota.

Arshdeep Singh to Starc, 1 run, another full-toss, quite high but not above waist height, angling into the stumps. Whipped away to the left of deep midwicket

Mitchell Starc is in at No. 9.

Arshdeep Singh to David, OUT, gone, the full-toss sends David back. On the stumps, about knee-high, a bit of reverse away. Looks to whip it away over the leg side and ends up edging it straight to short third

TH David c Bumrah b Arshdeep Singh 15 (22m 11b 1x4 1x6) SR: 136.36

17.4
6
Arshdeep Singh to David, SIX, full-toss slanting away from off stump, and David clears the straight boundary despite seeming to mishit it. Kohli was keeping his eyes on the ball on the long-off boundary, and seemed to think he was about to get under the ball, but ended up stepping over the rope and watching the ball clear him comfortably
17.4
1w
Arshdeep Singh to David, 1 wide, looks for the yorker, misses his line, ends up as a wide down the leg side after beating David's flick
17.3
4
Arshdeep Singh to David, FOUR, much-mneeded boundary, but Australia need a lot more of this. Length ball slanting across, finishing just outside off. Makes a bit of room and flat-bats it powerfully over the ducking umpiore. Kohli's despairing dive at long-off isn't enough to stop it
17.3
1w
Arshdeep Singh to David, 1 wide, bouncer, just down the leg sie, beats David's attempted hook
17.2
1
Arshdeep Singh to Cummins, 1 run, length ball, middle-stumpish. Looks to make room and hit straight, but doesn't quite middle it. Chipped in the air, bouncing to the right of Kohli racing in from long-off

Pat Cummins.

17.1
W
Arshdeep Singh to Wade, OUT, gone, that's a super catch from Kuldeep at short third. Back of a length outside off, and Wade goes hard at the cut. Slices it much finer than intended, but it's dying as it reaches Kuldeep, who has to dive forward and to his right. Does so, and seems to get his hands under the ball, but the umpires are having a look. Yup, his hands seem to be underneath the ball, though the slomo replays are a touch blurry and indistinct

MS Wade c Kuldeep Yadav b Arshdeep Singh 1 (5m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

Arshdeep continues. Australia need 53 off 18.

Vallathol: "Aaah... that wicket we have all been waiting for since the evening of 19 Nov '23!"
