MUMBAI, India (AP) Lendl Simmons hit an unbeaten 82 off 51 balls as West Indies defeated India by seven wickets in the second semifinal of the World Twenty20 tournament on Thursday.
Simmons, who joined the West Indies only after Andre Fletcher was injured in the last group match, was twice caught off no-balls but smacked seven fours and five sixes to guide his team to 196-3 in 19.4 overs.
India had relied on Virat Kohli's unbeaten 92 off 47 balls to score 192-2 but Simmons and Johnson Charles (52) took up the charge in a disciplined run-chase after Chris Gayle was dismissed in the second over.
West Indies, which won the 2012 tournament, will now take on England in the final at Kolkata on Sunday.
