It is rather a twenty20 game rather than a ODI game between india and srilanka,with the india innings being reduced to 29 overs.Rohit sharma's bright batting display made india to pose a considerable total of 195-5.Sachin and shewag added 14 and 32 to the indian total before losing their wicket to maharoof and kulasekara.Rohit Sharma made an entertaining 70 not out but it wasn't enough for India to secure a win.Another out of form innings by yuvraj singh who made only 6.
Gambhir came up with a mighty knock of 35,until his spree was ended by a spledid runout by lasith malinga.
Due to rain, the lankan target was reduced to 154 in 21 overs.
Initially jayasuriya came up with great sixes and fours in sreesanth's single over
which almost cost 23 runs.This jayasuriya's 27 of 13 balls gave the lankans a head start till he became a victim of ishant sharma,caught by dhoni.
Then Harbhajan took the wicket of sangakkara in his first ball.Inspite of these wickets,the opener dildhan along with the skipper jayawardane ushered the lankans to victory with 12 balls as spare.Lankans outplayed india by 8 wickets at the canberra ODI.
