Sri Lanka in India

[Dhoni]

Yeah and today they might prove you wrong buddy. Sri Lanka is the 2nd best team in the world don't forget that.

An hour left for the match to start. Can't wait.

If SL lose this series they are bound to drop from no 2. I never knew how bad they were away from home.

I agree with you. I have seen Sri Lanka winning consistently but at home not away from home. They went to New Zealand and lost the test. Hope India will beat them.

Werid thing is why are they losing in India. India's pitches are very similar to those in SL.

I think India lost to Sri Lanka in those past ODI matches its because we didn't have Sachin in the team.

EDIT: Marvan Atapattu has won the toss and elected to bat first. India will have to get early wickets in order to win this one.

 

[aussie1st]

What type of track is it? Last time SL batted first they got 120 odd.

 

[Dhoni]

This looks like a batting track to me, but now it's up to Indian bowlers. If India can get
Jayasuriya and Sangakkara out early then I think India will be on top.

 

[aussie1st]

Good start for SL. 19/0 (2.3 ov) at a rate of 7.6 an over.

 

[bharat]

I feel Sri Lanka would be very desperate to win this match,so they will show a much improved performence.
India must work harder.

 

[aussie1st]

Well Jayasuriya won't be making India work any harder he is gone.

 

[Dhoni]

Sri Lanka 58/1 (12.1 ov)
Good start. not bad

 

[ZexyZahid]

Sevens runs in last four overs, with four coming of last over And one run came off a no ball.

Sri Lanka 71/1 (17.0 ov)

Seems as if this time around the match would be a lot closer than the last two.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Well I hope so. Atapattu is out.

It's now Sri Lanka 95/2 (23.0 Ovs)

 

[Dhoni]

Sri Lanka 107/2 (26.1 ov) with Sangakkara settled at the crease and Jayawardene playing well. Hope India can get few more wickets here.
