MS Dhoni hit a half century (56 not out off 61) against West Indies at the ICC World Cup 2019. Later, he took a brilliant catch to dismiss Carlos Brathwaite as India bowled out the Windies for a paltry 143 to win by 125 runs to remain unbeaten in the 10-team tournament

With 11 points, India are now almost through to the semi-finals of the ICC World Cup 2019 and another win in their next three games will seal their position in the top four as West Indies were knocked out with two games remaining

After captain Virat Kohli won the toss and chose to bat first, India were restricted to a below-par 268/7 in 50 overs. Kohli was the top scorer with 72 while MS Dhoni hit 56 and Hardik Pandya contributed 46

When Kohli scored his 37th run during the India-West Indies match at the ICC World Cup 2019 match in Manchester today, the right-hander became the quickest to 20,000 runs in international cricket

Pakistan still have to play two more league matches, against Afghanistan and Bangladesh. If they win both the games and other results go in their favour, then the Sarfaraz Ahmed-led side could make the semi-finals of the ICC World Cup 2019

After India captain Virat Kohli had won the toss and elected to bat, India were jolted early as Rohit was given out by the third umpire when the Windies skipper Jason Holder decided to review an on-field ‘not out’ decision

India are currently on 123 points, one point ahead of England after the hosts lost to Australia on Tuesday to surrender the top position to India. However, if India lose to the West Indies, they will slip one point behind England to 121 points

London: Left is right at the ongoing ICC World Cup 2019 in England and Wales. Left-handed cricketers are ruling the 10-team tournament. Here is a look at all the left-handers who are calling the shots at the ICC showpiece event. The two biggest stars so far are Australian duo of David Warner and Mitchell Starc, who have topped the batting and bowling charts respectively. All statistics as on June 26, after the end of Pakistan-New Zealand match in Birmingham.

The number one player in the list is India’s batting legend Sachin Tendulkar who scored 523 runs at the age of 22 in the 1996 World Cup. In that edition, India reached the semi-final where they lost to eventual champions Sri Lanka. Can Babar Azam break Tendulkar's World Cup record?

And with Babar already ranked as the No. 1 T20 batsman in the world, batting coach Grant Flower is confident his charge has what it takes to now kick on and join the pantheon of Pakistan greats - most notably because of the way he battled sickness to shine in Birmingham

So far in the ongoing tournament, Pakistan have played seven matches and the pattern of results are similar to that of the 1992 edition. Although Pakistan are not still assured of a berth in the semi-finals, fans are hoping the current pattern culminates in World Cup glory just like 36 years ago

Opening batsman Chris Gayle on Wednesday (June 26) declared himself as one of the West Indies greats and said he will come out of ODI retirement to play the home series against India. On the eve of the India-West Indies World Cup 2019 match in Manchester, Gayle said he will continue to play after the ICC showpiece event. Earlier, he had announced ODI retirement in February. Gayle also spoke about West Indies cricket’s future and the youngsters who are likely to make a big impact.

Manchester: Unbeaten India take on West Indies in a league match of the ICC World Cup 2019 on Thursday (June 27). A win for the Virat Kohli-led side will almost confirm a semi-final spot. Windies on the other hand will find it difficult to make the last-four stage even if they manage to beat India. Andre Russell is ruled out of the entire tournament with an injury and Sunil Ambris has replaced him. India start as favourites. Here is India’s likely Playing 11.

With this win, Pakistan have now moved up to number six in the table with seven points from as many games. They now need to win their last two games against Afghanistan (June 29) and Bangladesh (July 5) to hope for semi-final qualification at the ICC World Cup 2019
