Sri Lanka win tri-series final


Sri Lanka v India, tri-series final, Dambulla

August 28, 2010



These two have binged on each other since July 2008, but what promises to be the one for the road went Sri Lanka's way, ending a run of losses in big home matches for Sri Lanka. On the best batting track of the tournament, still not quite a flat belter, Tillakaratne Dilshan's risk-free yet urgent century, and Kumar Sangakkara's delightful half-century, set a target never achieved under Dambulla lights. When Virender Sehwag left the rest of the side - 288 runs between them before the start of the final - with 262 to get, it was all but over. The flame flickered for longer than expected, but not nearly long enough.
Umpiring decisions and manic appealing dominated the chase, but couldn't alter the expected result. Dinesh Karthik was given out caught off the thigh pad. Virender Sehwag's plumb lbw was not given, but he ran himself out off the same ball. Yuvraj Singh got away with a caught-behind before having scored a run, but was given out off one he didn't seem to have edged - 26 runs later. MS Dhoni survived a close lbw call when on 12, but ran out of partners as the required run-rate mounted. Read more...
Brief Score:
Sri Lanka 299 for 8 (Dilshan 110, Sangakkara 71, Munaf 2-43) beat India 225 (Dhoni 67, Perera 3-36, Randiv 3-40) by 74 runs
