Simmons, called into West Indies squad as a late replacement for hamstring-injury victim Andre Fletcher, cracked 82 not out from 51 balls to propel his side past Indias 192-2 with two balls to spare in Mumbai and into the showpiece game with England on Sunday, in Kolkata.The 31-year-old was twice caught off front-foot no-balls , when he was on 18 and 50, while he was also handed a lifeline late in his innings when Ravindra Jadejas foot was adjudged to be on the boundary rope as he flicked the ball back for Virat Kohli to take a catch. MS Dhoni must have felt like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day! Simmons comes in, scores runs, and you get him out - he scores runs and you get him out again, he scores runs and you get him out again! Kumar Sangakkara Coming in to a team as a replacement is not always easy but Simmons looked very focussed and I think he understood the conditions very well, Sangakkara said of the right-hander, who was playing at the home ground of his IPL franchise, Mumbai Indians.The way he started was very similar to a normal innings - hitting the loose ball and getting off strike - but he committed to every shot he played and wanted to bat through the innings, which he did.MS Dhoni, though, must have felt like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day! Simmons smashed 82 off 51 balls to send West Indies into Sundays final with England Simmons comes in, scores runs, and you get him out - he scores runs and you get him out again, he scores runs and you get him out again!It was high-drama, a beautiful chase and great to watch but cardinal mistakes cost India the game - it is hard to come back from those, even as professional players, and that catch [Jadejas] was the last straw.West Indies lost Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels cheaply at Wankhede Stadium, slipping to 19-2 when the former was bowled by Jasprit Bumrah for five and the latter chipped Ashish Nehra to cover for eight.However, Simmons and Johnson Charles (52 from 36) smashed 97 in 10.1 overs before Andre Russell (43 off 20) and Simmons took West Indies home with an unbroken stand of 80 in 6.3 overs, Russell walloping a match-sealing six off Virat Kohlis medium pace. James Anderson, Kumar Sangakkara and Michael Atherton react to the West Indies win over India in the World T20 semi-final Im not sure one great day in Mumbai cancels out the bad days they have had in recent times but its a good little period for them, Michael Atherton added of West Indies, whose womens side will play three-time champions Australia in Sundays final.Their Under 19s have won the World Cup and their men and women are through to the final here.They are a different team in the shorter format - they often look a pale imitation in Test cricket but get them together in Twenty20 and they are a hard team to beat.They have got many more match-winners than one [Gayle].Can West Indies win both World T20 titles?

But then, with the game on the line, he struggled down the stretch. Nick Calathes and Marc Gasol scored 18 points each, and the Memphis Grizzlies survived Beals big night to defeat the Wizards 92-89 on Tuesday night. Beal finished the night converting 15 of 24 shots, but was unable to connect in the closing minutes. He missed five of his last six shots, including a 21-footer with 12.9 seconds left that would have tied the game. "The past few games, I was too worried about my defender," Beal said. "As soon as I saw the first couple go in, it was a wrap after that. My confidence was high, and I just kept shooting the ball the same way every time. "I was having fun." Zach Randolph split two free throws with 11.5 seconds left to give the Grizzlies the 92-89 lead. John Walls 3-pointer for the tie with about 1 second left rattled around before popping out, giving Memphis the win. "We were supposed to hand it back to John," Wizards coach Randy Wittman said of the final play. "Bradley was going to flare for a three, but we didnt get the hand off back to John." Randolph, Courtney Lee and James Johnson scored 13 apiece for Memphis, and Randolph grabbed 10 rebounds. Calathes, who started his sixth straight game because of an ankle injury to starting point guard Mike Conley, also had six assists for the Grizzlies. "Nick Calathes is playing great," Memphis coach Dave Joerger said. "He makes some mistakes, but I have the ball in his hands and 98 per cent of the time, he makes the right play and the right pass. What hes doing right now in leading this ballclub is absolutely tremendous." Nene had 17 points for the Wizards, while Trevor Ariza and Marcin Gortat added 10 points each. Wall, who entered the game averaging a team-best 20.1 points, was limited to a season-low five points, making only 2 of 10 shots, missing all four attempts from outside the arc..

"Its terrible that you waste a game like that from (them)," Wittman said of Beal and Nene, particularly citing Nene holding Randolph to 4 of 11 shooting and forcing the Grizzlies forward into five turnovers. "As well as Nene was playing Zach Randolph in the post, its too bad you waste efforts like that." Memphis pushed the lead to 16 near the 9-minute mark of the third quarter on a 3-pointer from Tayshaun Prince. But Washington, with Beal continuing to score and Gortat contributing 10 in the quarter, went on a 20-8 burst to make a serious dent in the Memphis margin. "Obviously, Bradley Beal hits a lot of great shots," Joerger said. "Courtney (Lee) trailed him and bothered him. James (Johnson) trailed him and bothered him. The guy made tough shots." By the end of the third, Memphis had added a few points to its remaining lead carrying a 79-70 lead into the fourth. The Wizards were able to pull even at 80 with 6:52 left when Beals 14-footer, pushed him past his previous career high of 34. Beal was the major part of the 12-1 Wizards run to give them an 82-80 lead on Nenes 17-footer with 5:46 left. Memphis answered with a 7-2 mini-run to put the Grizzlies up for good, although each team made mistakes in the closing minutes. "We kept the ball on one side, and they just loaded up," Gasol said of Washingtons second-half defence. "We would average two, three passes and played too far away from the basket. We let them do what they wanted to do defensively and made it easy on them. "But we got away with a win." NOTES: Conley missed his sixth straight game with a bum right ankle. The Grizzlies are now 3-3 since his injury. ... Beals previous high was 34 points against Oklahoma City on Nov. 10. ...
