India bow out of Champions Trophy with a win

India pulled off a consolation win over the West Indies in the Champions Trophy, beating a depleted Caribbean side by seven wickets in the low-scoring final Group A match here on Wednesday.

India were already knocked out of the elite ICC event after Australia defeated Pakistan by two wickets in a nerve-wrecking another Group A match earlier in the day.

To the irony of the Indians, Australia had to loss against Pakistan and India had to beat West Indies by a big margin if Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his men have to make it to the semifinals.

India rode on Virat Kohli's unbeaten 79 and Dinesh Karthik's 34 to overhaul the West Indies score in 32.1 overs after Praveen Kumar (3/31) and Ashish Nehra (3/22) ran havoc with the new ball and then Harbhajan Singh joining the party with two wickets to bundle out the Caribbean side for 129 in 36 overs.
