India and Newzealand are at the top of there respective groups.
An important Group A match was played at mumbai between the world champions and the West Indies.West Indies won the toss and decided to play first. They lost there first four wickers quite early,but due to the good performance by the middle order they were able to reach at 234 in 50 overs.
Australia in reply,faced many problems but the match looked evely poised even at 46th over,but then the wonderfull bowling by bravo and an excellent hat-trick by taylor outclassed Australia leaving West Indies Win by 10 runs.WI looked very very happy with this win and it will work as a moral booster for sure.
Best of Luck to WestIndies!
