New Delhi, March 3 -- Defending champion and co-host India secured the last semifinal spot at cricket's T20 World Cup after a five-wicket win over West Indies in the Super Eights on Sunday with four balls remaining.

After West Indies lost the toss and posted a challenging 195-4, opener Sanju Samson led India to 199-5 in 19.2 overs with a belligerent unbeaten 97 off 50 balls in front of a home crowd of 68,000 at Kolkata's Eden Gardens.

"The way we played, it was a do-or-die game and the boys showed character," Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav said.

India's highest-ever successful chase at the T20 World Cup set up a semifinal clash against unpredictable England in Mumbai on Thursday.
