As the final and the fifth ODI match between India and Srilanka was abandoned due to dangerous playing conditions and this would be the most embarrassment for the DDCA.From the start itself occasional deliveries reared up and one such delivery hit Dilshan which brought hin in severe pain and needed for an urgent first aid in the field iteslf.
The bad condition of the pitch was first reported by the Srilankans when one from Tyagi bounced to very high which was even difficult for Dhoni to hold.Soon they reported this matter to the umpires and later the decision came that the match has been abandoned.The Srilankan innings was at 83/5 as they lost early wickets and failed to move on to a good target.
Winning the toss Indian skipper Dhoni chose to field and the decicion soon hit the bull's eye as Zaheer got the wicket of last match centurion Upul Tharanga in the first ball itself.Sudeep Tyagi and Harbhajan also added to the Srilankan's worry as they bowled with correct line and length.Also the Indian fielding supported the bowling department very well.
