A sensational bowling performance saw India dismiss Sri Lanka by 302 runs to secure a World Cup semi-final spot.

India have cruised into the semi-finals unbeaten, returning to the top of the table before an intriguing clash against in-form South Africa on Sunday.

However, Sri Lanka's qualification hopes are not mathematically over but they need to win their remaining two games and rely on other results going their way.

India captain Rohit Sharma says they are very happy to have officially qualified for the semi-finals as it has been a good effort from the entire squad.

India is now leading the Cricket World Cup table with 14 points while South Africa is second with 12 points and Australia is third with 8 points.

Meanwhile, the Netherlands will face Afghanistan at 8.30 pm today.
