WELLINGTON, Jan 23, 2010 (AFP) - Pakistan knocked defending champions India out of the ICC Under 19 World Cup Saturday in a tense rain-affected quarter-final at Lincoln.

In the other last-eight tie played Saturday, the West Indies beat England by 18 runs in a match shortened to 36 overs a side by bad weather.

India could only manage 114-9 in their 23 overs but Pakistan had to battle to reach the modest total, getting to their target with only three balls remaining and two wickets in hand.

Mandeep Singh top-scored for India with 40, after the 2008 champions lost two wickets in the first over.
