Former champions India go into their final Super Eights match needing to win to have any chance of qualifying for the semi-finals. They win the toss and decide to bat first against Sri Lanka in St Lucia
Sri Lanka, who also need to win and hope Australia beat West Indies later on to make the last four, get their first wicket in the fourth over when Lasith Malinga dismisses Dinesh Karthik with a sharp caught and bowled
Malinga continues to cause problems with his unusual bowling style and ends a second-wicket stand of 66 when he has Gautam Gambhir caught behind for 41 from 32 balls
Suresh Raina makes an impressive 63 from 47 balls, including seven fours and a six, but India lose two wickets in the 18th over after Mahela Jayawardene takes two catches off Thilan Thushara's bowling
Kumar Sangakkara appeals unsuccessfully for a run-out - Yusuf Pathan has just made his ground but the batsman is out for 13 shortly afterwards as India's innings falters at the end and closes on 163-9
Captain Mahendra Dhoni hits one six in his unbeaten 23 from 19 balls but has his team done enough to secure the win they need to qualify for the semi-finals?
India's bowlers make the perfect start when Ashish Nehra has Jayawardene caught at slip by Pathan for four off the third ball of Sri Lanka's innings
Vinay Kumar enjoys a dream start to his international career when he dismisses Sanath Jayasuriya for a duck with his fifth ball - Sri Lanka in severe trouble on 6-2
Sangakkara rebuilds the innings with a stand of 43 with Tillakaratne Dilshan (33) and then 65 with Angelo Mathews, before falling for 46 to Kumar after 14.4 overs with Sri Lanka on 105-4
Mathews and Chamara Kapugedera ensure Sri Lanka pass the 144 they need to eliminate India but Mathews is run out off the penultimate delivery for a superb 46 off 37 balls
But Kapugedera, who hit two successive sixes in the penultimate over, wins the match with a huge last-ball six to hand Sri Lanka a five-wicket win and, after Australia beat West Indies, a semi-final against England on Thursday
West Indies need to beat Australia, who are all but certain to qualify as group winners, by 23 runs to reach the semis but suffer a terrible start when Dirk Nannes bowls captain Chris Gayle with the second ball of the match
Shivnarine Chanderpaul looks to rebuild but a stunning overhead catch by David Hussey off the bowling of Mitchell Johnson sends him back to the pavilion with the hosts 39-2 in the fifth
Two overs later and Johnson celebrates again after flicking a straight Ramnaresh Sarwan drive onto the stumps to dismiss the unlucky non-striker Dwayne Bravo
Leg-spinner Steve Smith strikes in the ninth over and then sees off Keiron Pollard and Darren Sammy in successive balls as West Indies, to the dismay of their fans, collapse to 77-7 in the 13th over
After part-time spinner David Hussey takes two wickets in an over, Shane Watson (above) ends West Indies' innings on 105 in the 19th over when he bowls Sulieman Benn
Australia, knowing they have qualified for the semi-finals, look to finish the match quickly but lose David Warner (25) to Jerome Taylor and Watson (5) to Benn in successive balls to fall to 31-2 after 3.1 overs
However, wicket-keeper batsman Brad Haddin - pushed up the order - restores calm with some calculated hitting as Australia edged to within touching distance of the winning target on a humid evening at the Beausejour Stadium
There is still time for one last moment of magic from the Windies, Dwayne Bravo diving full length to stop a Michael Clarke shot and then throwing down the stumps to see off the Australia captain
It is too little, too late for the hosts, though, who concede victory in a manner befitting their performance - five wides from Chris Gayle handing Australia, who face Pakistan in the last four, a six-wicket victory with 22 balls to spare
