India's supporters are ready to party in Chennai with Sachin Tendulkar looking to score his 100th international century in their final group game aginst West Indies
But they are immediately stunned into silence when the 'Ltitle Master' walks after feathering a catch to the keeper off Ravi Rampaul in the opening over - an edge which umpire Steve Davis did not spot
In the absence of Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir is promoted to open by India but he departs for 22 after upper-cutting a wide ball from Rampaul straight to deep third man
West Indies captain Darren Sammy drops the dangerous Yuvraj Singh twice in successive overs, once at backward point and once off his own bowling - how costly will that prove to be?
Yuvraj and Virat Kohli scamper a single during their 122-run partnership for the third wicket, which is eventually ended when Kohli plays across the line to a straight one from Rampaul and is bowled for 59
A member of India's support team tries to cool an apparently ill Yuvraj down but the left-hander sticks it out in the middle to progress towards a 13th one-day century
Despite continuing discomfort, Yuvraj reaches three figures off 112 balls, with a six and 10 fours, but departs just before the start of the final powerplay for 113 after giving an easy return catch to Kieron Pollard
India lose the plot in the final overs of their innings, with the last six wickets going down for 36 runs as they are bowled out for 268, and the impressive Rampaul finishes with 5-51
Having survived after an incorrect run-out decision by umpire Simon Taufel, West Indies debutant Kirk Edwards has to go when a TV referral shows him clearly lbw to spinner Ravichandran Ashwin's doosra
Darren Bravo, whose style is so reminiscent of Brian Lara, rocks back to hammer the ball through the covers as he and Devon Smith lay a foundation for the West Indies run-chase with a half-century stand
Suresh Raina (left) makes an important breakthrough for India when Bravo surrenders his wicket by hitting the final ball of the off-spinner's opening over straight to long-on
When Zaheer Khan bowls Devon Smith for a well-played 81, the match dramatically swings in India's favour as five wickets go down for 11 runs in the space of six overs
And when the obdurate Ramnaresh Sarwan is ninth man out for 39, the game is up for West Indies who slump to an 80-run defeat, losing their last eight wickets for 34 runs
Over in Kolkata, Zimbabwe make their bigest score of the tournament, piling up 308-6 against Kenya, with Craig Ervine (above, playing a reverse sweep) racing to 66 off only 54 balls
Captain-for-the-day Steve Tikolo acknowledges the sparse crowd after being dismissed for 10 in his final international innings as Kenya slump to 44-5 at the start of their reply
Seven wickets fall to Zimbabwe's spinners as they eventually bowl out Kenya for 147, despite a gallant 44 not out by tail-ender Nehemiah Odhiambo, to win by 161 runs
