New Zealand eliminated by defeat
India made 340-3 in rain-reduced 49 overs - second spell of rain then reduces NZ's chase to 44 overs
Rawal hits superb 122 off 134 balls
Mandhana hits brilliant 109 off 95 balls as India put on 212 for first wicket
That's us done for today.
Take a read of Elizabeth Botcherby's report to see how India qualified for the semi-finals at the expense of opponents New Zealand.
We'll be back tomorrow as the final round of group games begin, with Sri Lanka taking on Pakistan in Colombo (10:30 BST).
We'll see you then.
India captain Harmanpreet Kaur: "It wasn't easy. Credit goes to the entire team, the way we fought today, we knew how important this game was.
"We were getting starts, now it's time to make it big. Credit goes to Pratika and Smriti.
"We got a very good start, we decided to send Jemimah in, the way she batted that was something the entire world was expecting from her.
"Whenever you play at home, everyone expects a lot from you. We are always discussing as a team that this is our home, the crowd is cheering for you, this a time to enjoy.
"The team stood up, we lifted each other after the last three games didn't go well."
New Zealand captain Sophie Devine: "We are incredibly disappointed. Gutted for our family and friends as well. It has been a frustrating tournament and we wanted more opportunities.
"Credit to India today. I am so proud of how the girls continued to fight. With a full 50 overs, could we have got closer? Maybe. Absolutely gutted.
"We were outstanding in the powerplay and stayed on the stumps. It was a belter of a wicket but it is hard when you don't take any wickets. Our fielding was outstanding. We just leaked too many runs in that stage but it is hard when India have a partnership."
On Brooke Halliday: "It is so exciting the way our players have continued to grow. Her ability to play all around the ground and to stay calm and play the conditions is a special talent."
On Lea Tahuhu: "She has been huge. Not the way she would have liked this game but she has been monumental to New Zealand cricket."
On playing England: "For me, it is just about how we play the game. Even if we lose, if we can go out playing the way we want to, I will be happy.
"We are playing nations that have 1.4 billion people and we have 5 million! We have to remember that."
Brooke Halliday top-scored for New Zealand in their chase, hitting 81 from number five.
Here's the best shots from her innings.

"I like to dominate pace and there were a few nerves in there for the first few overs. I knew I had to back myself and try to play the ball.
"The first three games did not go my way but after getting into the 20s, I back myself to play a longer innings. In World Cups, you have to understand what form you are in and not over complicate things. I feel good and that is what matters."
On what it is like batting with Pratika Rawal: "Both us cannot really answer it! We are similar people in terms of doing the job and not talking in the middle. We have similar games and she is a good anchor so I can play my natural game. That works for us."
Wickets for all six India bowlers, with Renuka Singh Thakur the pick having taken 2-25 from six overs.
Sneh Rana also claimed 2-48, while Smriti Mandhana took three catches to go with her 109 in the first innings.
Izzy Gaze finishes unbeaten with a career-best 65 from 51 balls, while Brooke Halliday top-scored for New Zealand with 81 from 84 balls.

I really think if New Zealand had had the same amount of overs they would have been much closer to the score.

It feels fitting that the last ball of this game is Smriti Mandhana taking a catch. There are hugs all round for India as there was so much pressure on their shoulders.
Mair c Mandhana b Sharma 1 (NZ 271-8)
A wicket from the final ball of the game wraps it up - India are through to the semi-finals and T20 world champions New Zealand won't be progressing.
Rosemary Mair should have been stumped off the game's penultimate ball, having advanced miles down the track and wafted at thin air.
She follows-up by lofting to Smriti Mandhana at long-on, with the India opener taking catches in successive overs.
The game was long since decided, the target simply too high for New Zealand.

Another catch for Smriti Mandhana. That one was straight forward and she seems happy about it. She has been in the game today that's for sure.
Kerr c Mandhana b Gaud (NZ 266-7)
Kranti Gaud to bowl the penultimate over of the innings - and she takes a wicket with her final delivery!
Jess Kerr smears a shot to point, where Smriti Mandhana quickly steps to her right and takes the chance.
Prior to the wicket, Izzy Gaze stepped across her stumps and popped the seamer through fine leg for four.
Need 64 from 12 balls
And six more for Jess Kerr!
Off Deepti Sharma this time, clearing the ropes well at long-on from the over's fourth delivery.
Three more singles off the other five balls, as we head towards the close.
A defiant six by Jess Kerr!
She brings up New Zealand's 250 by slog sweeping Shree Charani right onto the boundary sponge at square.

NZ 243-6
A first ODI half-century for Izzy Gaze!
A valiant effort by the 21-year-old in the circumstances, bringing up her 50 off 39 deliveries by smacking Shree Charani for four through mid-wicket.

It is so hard to pick the gaps on the leg-side but Izzy Gaze gets herself in a powerful position.
She can generate such power - it has been a feature of her innings.
Need 87 from 24 balls
Back-to-back fours again for Izzy Gaze, hitting Sneh Rana past mid-wicket and then whippily reversing a shot through third.
A further single takes her to 48 - now her highest score in ODIs.
Need 98 from 60 balls
Need batter Jess Kerr takes a single to mid-wicket to retain the strike.
Required run-rate now above three runs a ball, although it's basically a meaningless figure at this stage.
Shachi Pai
Former Lancashire batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Is that the game? Brooke Halliday has to go - she tried so hard to clear the rope.
Halliday c Rana b Charani 81 (NZ 226-6)
Holed out!
Brooke Halliday tries to clear the ropes at long-on off Shree Charani but picks out Sneh Rana on the rope.
She had to swing for a few, even if it was a futile gesture - meanwhile a 72-run partnership comes to an end.
