Perth, Mar 6(IBNS) Powered by a scintillating 57 by tail ender Jason Holder and adding up 97 in the last three wickets, West Indies averted a total disaster, but set an easy target for India as they finished with a humble 182 all out in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 match at the W.A.C.A Ground in Perth in Australia on Friday.

Mohammad Shami was the most successful bowler for India, claiming three wickets for 35 runs while spinner Ravindra Jadeja bagged two wickets for 27 runs. Pacemen Mohit Sharma and Umesh Yadav also took one wicket apiece.

The Caribbeans, who had elected to bat after winning the toss, suffered early blows when top order batsmen Dwayne Smith was first caught behind the wicket off Shami in the fifth over scoring only 6 to be followed by Marlon Samuels (2), Chris Gayle(21) and Denesh Ramdin(0) in the next four overs when the team's total stood at 35 for four.
