5:30: That's it! West Indies seal a spot in the semi-finals thanks to a comprehensive victory over Pakistan! A flurry of wickets within the first few overs set a precedent after sublime batting from Dwayne Bravo and Darren Sammy and Pakistan's resistance was unspectacular at best as they were bowled all out for 82. West Indies will meet Sri Lanka in the semi-finals.

West Indies win by 84 runs - Pakistan all out for 82.

Wicket! Babar c Simmons b Santokie 4: Babar doesn't last much longer as his big sweep is taken by Lendl Simmons inside the boundary to seal a West Indies victory!

Over 17: Pakistan 79 for 9: It's looking fairly bleak for Pakistan. This could be the last over of the afternoon.

Wicket! Ajmal b Russell 1: Russell returns to bowl and makes quick work of Ajmal. Gul and Babar now need 88 from 18 balls to have any hope of catching the West Indies.

Over 16: Pakistan 78 for 9: Another sublime over from Narine leaves Pakistan's hopes of closing the gap in tatters, needing 92 from 24 balls.

Wicket! Tanvir c Sammy b Narine 14: Tanvir looks replicate Afridi's big six in the previous over but it falls short and is gathered by Chris Gayle a meter inside the boundary.

Over 15: Pakistan 74 for 6: Tanvir hits a four off Dwayne Smith's first ball before Afridi smashes a tremendous six over mid-wicket to bring his personal tally to 18 from 11

Over 14: Pakistan 63 for 6: Narine's bowling causes problems for both batsmen who take just six from the over.

Over 13: Pakistan 57 for 6: Shahid Afridi has the bat for Pakistan but it will take something special from him to close West Indies' advantage. But he gets started straight away, smacking the ball square leg for six from Samuel's delivery. Afridi is lucky not to be run out immediately afterwards after he's struck wandering out of his crease, but Santokie's delivery misses.

Over 12: Pakistan 48 for 6: Chris Gayle brilliantly anticipates Masquood's low drive and leaps across to collect and prevent a potential four at the start of the over before the Pakistan batsman is dismissed. Left handed Sohail Tanvir steps in and hits a six to leave his side chasing119 from 48 balls.

Wicket! Maqsood st Ramdin b Narine 18: Maqsood becomes the third Pakistan batsman to be stumped this afternoon as signs of frustration begin to creep into their game.

Wicket! Hafeez c Gayle b Russell 19: Hafeez skies one and it looks ominous from the moment it leaves his bat. Chris Gayle is on the scene to easily catch it and further deplete Pakistan.

Over 10: Hafeez wins another single but West Indies appeal for a stumping in the following ball on Maqsood but after going to the umpire it is ignored after replays confirm his foot was behind the line. Masqood finally sends one flying out to the boundary but it's just kept inside the boundary to limit him to a single.

Over 9: Pakistan 32 for 4: Andre Russell takes over bowling duty for West Indies and limits the opposition to another four singles. Pakistan need 135 from 11 overs

Over 8: Pakistan 28 for 4: It's Badree's last over and Maqsood and Hafeez manage five singles from it. They appear to have steadied the ship slightly, but there's a long road ahead of Pakistan.

Over 7: Pakistan 23 for 4: Pakistan finally begin to respond as Maqsood drops to one knee and smashes Samuel's delivery clear mid-wicket for an impressive six, the first boundary his side have collected this afternoon.

Over 5: Pakistan 11 for 3: Pakistan have edged their way to double figures as Hafeez, now joined by Malik, knocks a careful single into the leg side, but it's still very tentative from them as Malik chalks up another on the final ball.

Over 4: Wicket! U Akmal st Ramdin b Badree 1: Umar Akmal follows his brother out through Badree's delivery

Over 3: Pakistan 8 for 2: Santokie's delivery is causing problems all the time for Pakistan. His use of pace and move to cut across the right hander has limits them to a five in the third started through Hazeez, who doubles his score with a two through square leg, and moves to five with a single.

Over 2: Pakistan 3 for 2: Umar Akmal comes in and tenatively hits a single as Pakistan attempt to compose themselves after that awful start. Hafeez follows up with a single for himself but his side are still reeling.

Over 1: Pakistan 1 for 1: What a start for West Indies! Mohammad Hafeez comes in after Shehzad's dismissal. Santokie is looking to send him packing in swift fashion too but he manages to safely see out the over.

Wicket! Shehzad lbw b Santokie: A full length delivery from Santokie catches Shehzad lbw on the first ball!

4:07: West Indies open with left-arm seamer Krishmar Santokie, with Ahmed Shehzad and Kamran Akmal opening up for Pakistan.

Over 18: West Indies 128 for 5: A tremendous shot from Dwayne Bravo gets their 18th over off to a blistering start with a monstrous six that clears 90 meters. He follows it up with another that clears midwicket to chalk up another six and adds a four after sending one over backward point, taking 21 runs from Gul's over. Pakistan had masterfully controlled the innings prior to this over but have been rocked by a tremendous response from the West Indies and Bravo.

Over 17: West Indies 107 for 5: Kamran's premature shouts for out are rightfully ignored and Sammy hits a useful two on the follow up throw before directing another four towards the boundary that Sohail Tanvi is unable to chase down.

Over 16: West Indies 95 for 5: Bravo smashes a four on Babar's ball for a four and Sammy repeats the trick, albeit in contrasting style, swinging a massive back-lift to hit clear of midwicket. Renewed impetus from West Indies here who really must go for it now.

Over 11: West Indies 69 for 4: Pivotal over for Pakistan which saw Samuels and Simmons both go. The latter struck an impressive six early in the over but their middle order has since been halted. Still no sign of Darren Sammy for West Indies.

Wicket! Samuels b Afridi 20: And another! Samuels walks off as Afridi bowls him out, striking the edge of the stumps.

Over 8: West Indies 51 for 2: Right-arm paceman Umar Gul takes over and and limits Simmons to a couple of singles before troubling him with a bouncer that Simmons on the hand. It doesn't seem to bother him however as he hits an exquisite 78 meter six as West Indies break the 50 mark.

Over 6: West Indies 39 for 2: Tanvir returns to bowl his third over and after racking up a couple of singles Martin Simmons crunches another off the base of the bat to add another four in the third ball of the fifth over. There's been six fours and one six from the West Indies in a slightly sporadic start to their innings

Over 5: West Indies 32 for 2: Left handed spinner Zulfiqar Babar takes over for Pakistan but it does little to stop Simmons smashing his first six mid-wicket before following it up with a powerful four.

Over 4: West Indies 22 for 4: Tanvir completes the fourth over in style, getting another past Samuels' outside edge after dismssing Smith. He responds with a couple of powerful strokes, but is unable to convincly add to his tally in short-innings.

Over 3: West Indies 21 for 1: Lendel Simmons steps in for the departed Gayle but immediately hits a right sided effort out towards the boundary before hitting a three through the covers. Shahid Afridi and Umar Gul give chase for Pakistan and brilliantly slide in unison to retrieve the ball, but in doing so leave themselves short to get it back. It looked nice, though. Smith and Simmons both remain unfazed by the wicket.

Wicket! Chris Gayle st K Akmal b Hafeez 5 (10-1): Gayle walks off afte r abig appeal from Pakistan Gayle for a stumping as he edges forward at Hafeez and lifts his back foot. Huge wicket for Pakistan.
