Zaheer Khan is the Man of the Match, if I am not mistaken its the first time a bowler is getting one in this Series. 
The weakest departments for India - bowling and fielding came good today to create a collapse for the Lankans. There is still lot of room for improvement though. Sri Lanka looked dangerous at the start with a flurry of boundaries but there was plenty of recklesness. The Lankan batsmen looked a touch uninterested and bored in the afternoon.
Superb performance from the Indian batsmen, they have wrapped up this chase in style with 8 wickets in hand and as many as 104 balls to spare. That is quite a pounding given to Sri Lanka ahead of the Final.
So then we have had five matches so far in this Tri-Series and its the fifth time in a row that the side chasing has won the match. Sri Lanka wanted to have a taste of bowling under the dew conditions for the first time and they found it very difficult to create any sort of pressure on the Indian batsmen.
Over 32.4: Single. C Welegedara to Yuvraj , full toss, pushes the near beamer to long on for the winning run. India win by 8 wickets.
Over 32.4: No ball + Boundary! C Welegedara to Yuvraj , full toss, that was a dangeous beamer down the legside and Yuve ducks under that safely, no chance for Sanga and the ball heads to the boundary.
Over 32.3: Two runs. C Welegedara to Yuvraj , pitched up delivery, makes room and drags the yorker through squareleg and steals a second.
Over 32.2: Single. C Welegedara to V Kohli, short and wide, drives it off the backfoot towards deep covers for a single.
Over 32.1: No runs. C Welegedara to V Kohli, pitched up delivery, drives it uppishly on the bounce to mid off. Welegedera has replaced Perera.
Over 31.6: Single. Suranga Lakmal to V Kohli, short of length delivery, drives it on the up to deep extra covers.
Over 31.5: Boundary! Suranga Lakmal to V Kohli, bangs it short, pulls away the slower one through backward squareleg for the fourth boundary of the over.
Over 31.5: Boundary! Suranga Lakmal to V Kohli, bangs it short, pulls away the slower one through mid wicket for the fourth boundary of the over.
Over 31.4: Boundary! Suranga Lakmal to V Kohli, half volley, sprays it down the legside from over the sticks and Virat glances it very fine behind the sticks for a boundary.
Over 31.4: Wide Ball. Suranga Lakmal to V Kohli, half volley, let's that wide one go to the keeper outside the off stump.
Over 31.3: No runs. Suranga Lakmal to V Kohli, full toss, smacks that straight to mid on. Lost on placement and timing while trying to hit that too hard.
Over 31.3: No ball + Boundary! Suranga Lakmal to V Kohli, full toss, round the sticks and gets flicked off the pads to the squareleg boundary. Freehit for Virat now.
Over 31.2: Boundary! Suranga Lakmal to V Kohli, half volley, flicks it gloriously through mid wicket for a boundary.
Over 31.1: Single. Suranga Lakmal to Yuvraj , short of length delivery, shuffles across and glances it to fine leg.
