MS Dhoni: "We've kept it simple. The guys have understood the fact that the bowlers have to bowl in the right in the areas and not experiment too much. I am not too disappointed, the wicket wont change much, there was a bit of swing early on in our last match. It's a bit of an advantage that we know how the pitch behaves. Shami is fit, he comes back and so Bhuvi [Bhuvneshwar Kumar] has to make space for him."

Jason Holder: "We just have to start well, this is a must win game for us. We will bat first. Looks to be a good wicket, we want to put runs on the board and defend it. We are just feeling comfortable putting runs on the board. One change, [Kemar] Roach in for [Sulieman] Benn."

Hello and welcome to CricketCountry s coverage of the 28th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. It's a Pool B encounter between India and West Indies at the WACA, Perth. I am Shiamak Unwalla, and I will be bringing you the over-by-over updates of the match. READ Match Preview: India vs West Indies

This would be India's fourth match in the competition and have won all the three games they have played so far against Pakistan (by 76 runs), South Africa (by 130 runs) and UAE (by 9 wickets). India would surely look to win this all-important encounter against the Carribeans as a win here would seal their berth for the quarter-finals. ICC Cricket World Cup 2015: POINTS TABLE

West Indies, on the other hand, have played four games so far and and have an equal share as they have won the same amount of games as they have lost as well. Their win came against Pakistan (by 150 runs) and Zimbabwe (by 73 runs, D/L method), while the loss came against Ireland (by 4 wickets) and South Africa (by 257 runs). This match is also an important encounter for West Indies as a win could keep their hopes alive of making it to the quarter-finals, however a loss could prove to be fatal and would leave them in a desperate position to win the next encounter against UAE.

The wicket at the WACA had played well in the two games so far and has had runs on offer. It is said that there may be a little more bounce on offer for this game. Some of the fast bowlers will be in play. India will wait on Mohammed Shami s fitness. He did bowl in full tilt during the net session on the eve of the game and it was said that he was expected to be ready for the game. If he comes in, Bhuvneshwar Kumar will make way. Mohit Sharma and Umesh Yadav will hold on to their spots. ICC Cricket World Cup 2015: Complete Coverage
