234 to win... I think India kept them to a more than reachable total. 250-260 would have been really challenging here. I agree with Aditya. Play out Malinga, and things are going to get easier for India.
Great comeback by Ashwin after a poor first game and a very ordinary tour so far. He bowled a lot slower through the air today and gave the ball more rip, and got his reward. Rahul Sharma's injury came at the right time for Ashwin who could have been dropped for today had Rahul Sharma played. To have such figures against a good spin playing side like Sri Lanka and that too at a place like Perth is an excellent performance.
