Indian cricket team wins the trophy after one day
international cricket match and the series against Sri Lanka in Pallekele. Gautam
Gambhir and Manoj Tiwary provided the mainstay of the Indian innings with a
fourth-wicket partnership of 110.
Mahindra Singh Dhoni made 58 from just 38 balls and
put on 77 with Irfan Pathan. And the latter then took five for 61 as Sri Lanka
came up just short despite 77 from Lahiru Thirimanne and 72 from Jeevan Mendis.
Indian openers Gambhir and Ajinkya Rahane put on 29
in five overs and Virat Kohli then joined Gambhir to see the total to 77 before
being dismissed for 23.
Suresh Raina went first ball but Dhoni survived the
hat-trick ball and the next three deliveries went to the boundary the first via
the India captain’s helmet.
Pathan clean bowled Senanayake with the final ball
of his spell to pick up his fifth wicket and though Malinga crashed two
boundaries, he was then caught on the boundary to end Sri Lanka’s valiant
challenge.
