| Well it was all about India today. Right from the toss, they did nothing wrong. Although initially it seemed that luck is not with them today with Sachin being given out wrongly yet again and Gambhir getting run out in the most unfortunate of manners. But once Sehwag and Yuvraj got stuck into things, the balance shifted drastically and they ran away with the game. After staring at a monumental total, Sri Lanka needed Jayasuriya to give them an explosive start and that is exactly what didn't happen when Praveen Kumar removed him first ball. Dilshan gave some heart and Jayawardene and Sangakkara kept the hopes alive but once they were dismissed, things got all too wrong for Lanka. Eventually, they lost by 147 runs which is their worst defeat in Sri Lanka. Indians have won the series now and get ready for some experimentation in the next games. Till the 4th ODI, it is good bye and good night from me... |
 |
| Yuvraj Singh is the Man of the Match. It was always tough to decide the Man of the Match as Yuvraj and Virender Sehwag both scored flamboyant hundreds and picked up a wicket apiece. But the adjudicators have decided to give the award to Yuvraj Singh. |
|
| India win by 147 runs and have won the series with 2 games to spare. |
