Indian fans were in cheers yet again, as India won their 4th consecutive ODI. Sri lankan fans were disappointed yet again, as their team couldn't notch up enough runs to defend, plus, adding to the frustration, the Indian batsmen reached the total in just 44.3 overs, at 6.17 runs per over.
It was a smooth ride on the Dhawan, Kohli and Rayudu wave for India, each scoring above 50(Virat scored 49) The first innings, which was of Sri Lanka, conceded many blows and many leads, with Sangakaara at first leading the charge, scored 61, before being caught by Dhawan. Then the man of the inning, Anglo Mathews led the whole innings with his 92* with 10 fours and 1 six, it was surely a captain's knock, who is wanting to write his own legacy.
Akshar patel once again impressed with 2 wickets for 39 runs, much better than the rest of the team.
Then came the Indian innings, with hitting and losing at both ends, Ajinkya Rahane was out for a slow 19 ball 8, which could have been a blow to India, but India, unaffected, continued! Shikhar smashed 79 and Ajinkya Rahane on the other end, kept scoring, they both shared a partnership of 118.
Then came Virat, after the dismissal of Shikhar Dhawan, continued as well, with a 49 off 44 balls, unfortunate of not getting that 1 run.
The match came to an end, when India won comfortably by 6 wickets and Ambati Rayudu not out at 121.
