Defending champions India crashed out of the Under-15 World Cup cricket tournament after West Indies got the better of them on run-rate in a rain-affected tied group a match here last night. In a nail-biting finish, the West Indies scored 172 for six to tie the match, with Lendle Simmons - nephew of test player Phil Simmons - top scoring with 58. West Indies were declared winners on better run-rate. Pakistan face England in the first semi-final at Chelmsford on Saturday while West Indies take on tournament favourites South Africa in the other semi-final at Hove next Tuesday.
