BREATH TAKING....

This was one of the finest cricket match in ODI I have ever witnessed.Chasing a very huge total of 415 the visitors gave a very tough time to the hosts as they ended up the match just 3 runs before their target.
The which was best suited to the batsmen as they scored 825 runs with each side scoring 400 and above.Both India and Srilanka played their best as the openers of both the teams gave a magnificent start with Sehwag scoring 146 of 102 balls as he and Sachin gave the team India a flying start.Later he was awarded the Man Of The Match.
In reply Srilankan openers too batted well and Dilshan who scored 160 of 124 balls and Sangakkara scoring a fast 90 runs from 43 balls.Till 40-th over Srilanka was cruising in to the target with 9 wickets in hand.But then the conditions changed as Harbhajan bowled a bright spell(58/2) and Zaheer and Nehra bowled well in the death.Not only they but the whole Indian team held their nerves....
