"Smith was taking it away from the Indians as West Indies were placed comfortable at 154 for two in the 31st over but once Zaheer Khan bowled Smith, the Caribbeans lost wickets in a heap.
Harbhajan sent back hard-hitting Keiron Pollard (1) and Yuvraj had Devon Smith (2) stumped by Dhoni. That brought skipper Darren Sammy on to the crease but threw his wicket by running himself out, thanks to a terrible mix up with Sarwan.
Yuvraj struck for the second time when he had Andre Russell (zero) caught by Yusuf Pathan at point.
Zaheer ended all Windies hopes when he scalped Sarwan.
It was Ashwin, playing his first game in the tournament, who handed India its first breakthrough by trapping Edwards with his carrom ball.
The umpire had initially turned down the appeal but the the decision had to be overturned after the Indians asked for a review, which went in their favour."
