After the first miss in Dambulla, India seems to have handled it very well with 2-1 lead in the series. Praveen Kumar and Zaheer Khan are the two men who have made a huge difference in the Indian side. However, India needs to work a bit in the batting area. The current forms of the batsmen are a major concern when it comes to this match. It is definately an advantage on the Indian side.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka is under trememdous pressure. They need to win both these one day matches to end a victorious summer on their home ground. They need to focus more on their batting. Apart from Jayawardhane, there seems to be no promise when it comes to the other Sri Lankan batsmen. The fact is that Sri Lanka has never lost a series at home so far. Let’s wait to see if they manage to balance the ratio with this match. Keep hitting this space for more on the match, live scores and video highlights.
