Once again India team spoiled a great opportunity to score a huge total in the Asia-Cup Final.Atleast India have scored 25 runs shorter than they needed.A bow to the Srilankan bowlers as they conceeded only 55 runs in the last 10 overs and also they didn't even gave away a single boundary in the last 5 overs which was India's batting power-play.
After struggling in the end overs Indian team have managed to score 268/6 in 50 overs.Without Sehwag,Gambhir and Karthik opened the Indian innings.Even though there havn't any big partnership betwen them Karthik managed to score a well directed 66 runs which was more meaningful in the Indian innings.Dhoni who himself had the batting promotion scored 38 runs .Once again Rohit Sharma(41) was searching for his partner but could not find any.Both Dhoni and Rohit was out in the eager of increasing the run-rate.In the end Ravindra Jadeja (27*) and Harbhajan Singh(7*) could not do much as they have been tied by some of the good bowling from the Srilankan pacers.
Now Seilanka need 269 runs to win this Asia-Cup.A nd to defend that Indian bowlers has to spare some good bowling and fielding figures as chasing the score would not do any harm to batsmen in the lights....
