Rohit Sharma hit his fifth century of the World Cup as India eased past Sri Lanka by seven wickets in their final group game at Headingley on Saturday.
Sri Lanka scored 264 for seven in their 50 overs, with Angelo Mathews hitting 113.
But Sharma, who made 103, and KL Rahul rarely looked troubled during the chase, putting on 189 for the first wicket as India reached their target with more than six overs to spare.
Sri Lanka had posted a challenging 264 for seven, courtesy of a brilliant century from all-rounder Angelo Mathews against India at Headingly in Leeds today.
After electing to bat, Sr Lanka lost four quick wickets and were left reeling on 55 for four in the 12th over.
It was then Mathews and Lahiru Thirimanne, who strung together a 124-run fifth-wicket stand to steady the ship.
Although Thirimanne was dismissed after scoring 53 off 68 balls in the 38th over, Mathews went on to script another 74-run sixth-wicket partnership with Dhananjaya de Silva before finally being dismissed after a valiant 113 off 128 balls.
Sri Lanka then went on to put on a challenging 264 for seven as de Silva remained unbeaten on 29.
