1st ODI India vs Sri Lanka at Dambulla – Aug 18, 2008
Match scheduled to begin at 10:00 local time (04:30 GMT)
Looks like Indian team are back to form after watching tour match vs. Srilanka XI team. Yuvraj Singh played a very good innings, after a long time Yuvi played a decent innings like twenty twenty world cup innings. Yuvi scored 172 runs from 121 balls (4×8, 6×13) with strike rate 142.12.
India needs a good opening partnership to win the series. Indian team need to concentrate on Mendis and Muralidharan. Any how Dhoni is having a good winning strategy away from home.
Srilanka team is in very good position in home. And they are having brilliant batsmen and bowlers. At the moment Srilanka looks very strong in the series.
Give a big hand to Indian team to win the series. Drop a comment to wish Indian team.
Looking at the lighter side of it, both India and Sri Lanka are like bullies trying to gain traction in the sub-continent. India though have fallen into a strange pattern in One-day cricket. They have managed to punch above their weight overseas, winning the T20 World Cup in South Africa and the Commonwealth Bank Series in Australia. But as far as winning the significant tournaments in the sub-continent, the Men in Blue have had a disappointing run of late.
“It’s just that we are losing the big games,” Mahendra Singh Dhoni said after arriving in Sri Lanka. “At times it may seem that we are not doing well in the sub-continent but if you see our performances, we have done well. You could say we have lost a few crucial games. We lost the tri-series final in Bangladesh and the Asia Cup finals. But overall we have done consistently well in the sub-continent.”
3rd Test India vs Sri Lanka at Colombo (PSS) – RESULT , Live Cricket Streaming
Skipper Mahela Jayawardene and Malinda Warnapura hammered half centuries to help Sri Lanka thrash India by eight wickets in the third and final Test and clinch the series 2-1.
Jayawardene (50 not out) scored the winning runs by hitting Sourav Ganguly for a four and Warnapura remained unbeaten on 54, chasing a paltry 122 for the win with more than a day to spare in the match. Earlier, India were dismissed for 268 with the last two batsmen falling without resistance. Fighting a nagging pain, VVS Laxman remained not out on 61 though it hardly proved sufficient to save India from its second defeat in the series. Laxman completed 6000 runs in 96 matches and 158 innings
3rd Test India vs Sri Lanka at Colombo (PSS) – Day4, Live Cricket Streaming
India were 161 for five, leading Sri Lanka by 14 runs, at the close of the third day of the deciding third Test on Sunday.
Sri Lanka grabbed control of the game as they dominated all three sessions, building a healthy 147-run lead as they extended their first innings to 396 and then making deep inroads into the top order. Rahul Dravid provided the only glimmer of hope for the tourists, looking solid on 46 not out. He was batting with the injured VVS Laxman on 17 at the close. India started their second innings confidently as Virender Sehwag (34) and Gautam Gambhir (26) added a run-a-ball, 62-run opening stand.

Kumar Sangakkara cracked a solid 107 not out to help Sri Lanka gain a slender advantage over injury-hit India in the crucial third and final Test on Saturday.
The left-hander was involved in two valuable partnerships as the hosts reached 251/6 in their first innings at stumps on the second day in reply to India’s 249. Prasanna Jayawardene was unbeaten on one.
3rd Test India vs Sri Lanka at Colombo (PSS) – Day2, Live Cricket Streaming
Spinner Ajantha Mendis claimed 5-56 to help Sri Lanka bowl India out for 249 on the first day of the third Test on Friday.
India hit back with an early wicket, as Ishant Sharma bowled Malinda Warnapura (8), before Sri Lanka closed on 14 for one with Michael Vandort on three and nightwatchman Chaminda Vaas on nought.
Mendis extended his wicket tally in his first series to 23 as India failed to take any advantage from winning the toss on a good batting pitch.
However, the early damage was done by debutant pace bowler Dammika Prasad, who recovered from a nervous start with the new ball to dismiss Virender Sehwag (21), Rahul Dravid (10) and Sachin Tendulkar (six) in the first session.
3rd Test India vs Sri Lanka at Colombo (PSS) – Aug 8-12, 2008

India have decided to drop wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik for the series deciding third and final Test Match against the Sri Lankans that starts on Friday at the P. Saravanamuttu Stadium in Colombo.
Karthik, whose glove work and batting have been poor in the series, will be replaced by Parthiv Patel (23), who plays his 20th Test Match for his country.
Similarly the Sri Lankans also will make just one change with medium-pacer Nuwan Kulasekara replaced by either left-armer Thilan Tushara Mirando or the uncapped Dhammika Prasad, a decision they have left for the morning of the Test Match.
Give a big hand to India team to take the revenge on Srilanka
