Dananjaya
crushed the consistent batting line-up as he broke the opening stand of 109 &
in a short time India were hopeless when they lost 7 wickets for 131 runs.
Dhoni was calm & he waited for the loose deliveries while Bhuvneshwar
played a responsible innings & he smashed few boundaries in his 100 runs
match winning partnership with MS Dhoni.
MS Dhoni
played sensible because India had to score 100 more runs to win when he was
joined by Bhuvi. A different of innings was required & Dhoni gave his 100
percent against a side that has tremendous bowling attack. He made slow 45 runs
off 68 balls at a strike rate of 66.17 & his innings include only one
boundary.
For
one little moment when Sri Lanka players thought they had dismissed Dhoni. In
the 35th over, with India 59 runs away, Vishwa produced a bad shot
from Dhoni & the ball trickled b/w his legs to hit the stumps but bails
wouldn’t fall. The quick start at the top of the innings meant that Dhoni &
Bhuvneshawar could buy time & not worry about the required run rate.
Earlier,
it was Bumrah who stole the show with the ball as he finished with 4 wickets
& helped restrict Sri Lanka to 236-8. Bumrah finished off with 4-43 in 10
overs. He was helped by Chahal (2-43).
