India remain in contention to reach the Men's T20 World Cup semi-finals after brutally thrashing Scotland by eight wickets.

Requiring a big margin of victory, India dismissed Scotland for just 85 off 17.4 overs.

KL Rahul clattered 50 off 18 balls and Rohit Sharma hit 30 off 16 as India reached 89-2 in just 6.3 overs.

This crushing win takes India's net run-rate, which determines who progresses if multiple teams finish equal on the same points, above both New Zealand's and Afghanistan's in Group 2.

New Zealand, who beat Namibia earlier this morning, are two points above India and Afghanistan and will progress if they beat Afghanistan and join leaders Pakistan in the semi-finals.

But if the Black Caps slip up, India could reach the final four with victory over Namibia on Tuesday.
