Yuvraj Singh played a match winning innings as India, roared on by their supporters in Ahmadabad, knocked holders Australia out of the World Cup.

Ricky Ponting's 104, his first century for 13 months, guided a misfiring Australian batting line up to 260 6.

It was a target that looked within India's compass, and Sachin Tendulkar's 53 set the hosts off in fine style.

Gautam Gambhir added 50 before Yuvraj (57 not out) saw India to a five wicket win with 14 balls to spare.

The result ended an extraordinary run of success for the Aussies in the World Cup.

Beaten finalists in 1996 when Ponting was a junior player, they won the next three tournaments, an imposing run that included a run of 34 matches without defeat.

Tonight New Zealand takes on South Africa in the third quarter final.
