That brings an end to today's coverage. Hope you enjoyed it. Join us for the 3rd Quarterfinal tomorrow. Until then, goodbye!
Right, so the Indian juggernaut continues to trample anything in its path. Good convincing performances every time they turn up. Some might argue that they haven't been really put under pressure, which may make a difference later. But then, the Men in Blue haven't really allowed the opposition to even get any sort of sniff so far. Says a lot. Through to the semis now and they will face either Sri Lanka or England. This is where the fun really begins.
Kishan: "We set a good target out there. Most of the batsmen batted well. Bowlers made good use of the pressure applied. Sri Lanka or England, we are ready to face any of them. Just need to stick to our strengths."
Green: "We didn't do very well in the field. Didn't build enough partnerships either to chase down 350. If we had fielded better, could have restricted them to a lower total. So proud of the boys. Didn't matter what happened today. Still have two matches left. If we just believe in ourselves, we showed we can achieve a lot."
So that's it. Namibia started off the chase swinging - with their openers sparking hopes of the impossible. But that fizzled out soon enough. The spinners took over armed with a pitch assisting turn and strangled the opposition with constant wickets. It was all set up though by a majestic ton from Rishabh Pant. "We just played well, I was rotating strike. Will look to continue my form. Dravid just tell us to play normal cricket. We are not thinking about whoever we will be playing. Just playing the match, not the team." That's what he has to say after collecting his Man of the Match award.

Khaleel Ahmed to Fritz Coetzee, out Bowled!! First wicket in the tournament for Khaleel Ahmed and what a ball to do it with. Looks skywards and then erupts into laughter which radiates relief. Speared into the blockhole, it's through Coetzee before his bat comes down and uproots middle stump. India progress to the semi-final with another dominating display.
