India captain Mahendra Dhoni says his side to play West Indies will depend on the earlier ICC Champions Trophy game between Pakistan and Australia.
India need an emphatic win in their day-nighter on Wednesday and hope Pakistan convincingly beat Australia to stand a chance of making the last four.
"By the time we start our game, we will know where we stand and what we actually need to do," said Dhoni.
"Accordingly, we will decide the playing 11 then."
India can draw level with Australia on three points if results go their way but the gap in the run-rate of both teams makes it unlikely that they will leapfrog their Group A rivals to qualify in second place behind Pakistan.
India's run-rate is -1.080, while Australia's is +1 with Dhoni citing his side's poor bowling performances as a major reason for the size of that difference.
"This is one of those games where you have to achieve everything," said Dhoni.
"First of all, you want Pakistan to win and Australia to lose. Then you want to win against the West Indies and you have to better your run-rate.
"Overall, I think we have not bowled that well. That's one thing we need to admit. We have bowled twice and what we have seen is that we are not bowling that well.
"But in the last game, I was happy with the performance. Of course, one or two bowlers will have an off-day, but overall it was much better compared to the first game."
Australia will be without batsman Michael Clarke after he returned home because of a back injury but will believe they have enough strength in depth to secure their passage to the semis.
However, Pakistan are aiming to improve on the bowling front in preparation for the match against the Aussies.
"Umar Gul and Mohammad Aamer gave away six no-balls, and free hits, against India, most of which were punished. Australia will not waste such offerings either," said Pakistan coach Intikhab Alam.
"We are very strict at practice and always call no-balls in the nets. At times what happens is that pressure builds up and you stretch and strive and that is where you go wrong."
