Axar Patel, bowling in the Powerplay, had 3-23 that rocked England’s top-order and set the tone for victory.
Buttler’s side were also guilty of allowing India to get to a score above par, although that was largely down to the excellence of Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav.
They overcame a slow surface that also kept low in a fine partnership of 73 from 50 balls that took India to 171-7 – Rohit hitting 57 and Suryakumar 47.
India, who have not won a World Cup for 13 years, will play first-time finalists South Africa – a meeting of the tournament’s two unbeaten sides in Barbados on Saturday.
England will fly home on Friday and are next in action in a three-match Test series against West Indies, starting on July 10. (BBC)
