India got their ICC Under-19s World Cup Super League campaign off to an emphatic start beating the West Indies by eight wickets in Christchurch.
The defending champions were rarely troubled by a disappointing West Indies side that will have to improve against Sri Lanka and Pakistan to have any hope of qualifying for next week's semifinals.
The Super League phase offers a more meaningful gauge of a team's standard, and India recovered from their shock loss to Bangladesh last week by beating the West Indies with more than 22 overs to spare.
Elsewhere in group one of the Super League Pakistan held their nerve to beat Sri Lanka in a tense match at Lincoln.
