It was one of the best ODI cricket I have been seen. It was just fantastic cricket between
India vs Srilanka through the beginning of our hunt. When India need 321 off 40 overs, need a good start. need the quantity, but quality too. Overall it was a fantastic performance.

Needing to chase the A mammoth 321 in 40 overs for a bonus point and stay afloat in the tri-series, India rode unbeaten 133 off 86 balls Virat Kohli to snatch an incredible victory in only 36.4 overs.
Vi render Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar and Gautam Gambhir provided the right kind of start to drive his team.
The first 10 overs, India got 97 runs on the map. It was a great start and India needed to continue the momentum. Sachin, Sehwag gave us a good starting point, then Gambhir chipped in with useful contribution.
Indians with their hopes of qualifying for the finals of the tri-series hung on the outcome of the Australia-Sri Lanka game Friday.
Man-of-the-match Virat Kohli said it was a great team effort to chase the huge target like 320 inside 40 overs.
"To be able to chase 320 in 40 overs in a game must win, and put such an effort to stick together was a great team effort. This shows our character as a team, and How we can achieve our plans. It is about working hard and sticking in there, "he said.
He said he tried to correct some errors he had made in the previous matches of the tri-series.
"I made some mistakes in recent games after 20 and 30, trying to middle every ball, which does not always happen in international cricket. This is a very special feeling, probably my best of one day rounds so far, "said, adding they would be rooting for Australia in Friday's game against Sri Lanka.Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene said that we can not do much when someone like Kohli plays on his skin on a plot of true.
"You can not do much when he bats like that. It was the first day off for our bowlers in the tournament, so fair enough. It was not only Kohli, it was also the way the others around him hit, "he said.
Jayawardene sounded optimistic about qualifying for the final tri-series.
"Our qualification is still in our hands, which is great. Hope we come back from this and win in Melbourne."
Hopes must go on...................
