Denesh Ramdin and Ravi Rampaul guided the West Indies to a 94-run victory over England in the second semi-final of the under-19 World Cup in Dhaka on Monday.
The former struck a fine 72 while Rampaul claimed three wickets for 27 runs as the West Indies set up a day-night final meeting with Pakistan on Friday.
Pakistan had beaten India in the first semi-final on Saturday.
Electing to bat, the West Indies posted 249 for 6 and then bowled out England to 155 under lights at the Bangabandhu National Stadium.
Skipper Ramdin enabled the West Indies to recover from 69 for 3 with an 85-ball 72, adding 68 runs for the fourth wicket with Assad Fudadin (51).
Zamal Khan and opener Xavier Marshall also made good contributions. The former hit an unbeaten 60 off 49 balls to boost the West Indies total, while Marshall scored 45.
England struggled against an accurate bowling attack led by Rampaul, who had played eight One-Day Internationals for the senior team on the recent tour of South Africa and Zimbabwe.
Rampaul struck early when he claimed the wicket of Ravinder Bopara. He then returned to remove captain Alistair Cook (33) and James Hildreth (27).
Cook, who struck two hundreds and a half-century in his last three innings, failed to dominate the bowling during his 71-ball knock.
Tim Bresnan top-scored for England with a run-a-ball 41, hitting one six and six fours.
