Sri Lanka Level The Series With 1-1.


India: Dilshan and Methews helped Sri Lanka to tie the on going series with 1-1 after Two ODIs. In the 2nd ODI India won the toss and decided to bat first. Sri Lanka got the early breakthrough of Sehwag. But it was the captain day to perform Ms Dhoni Batted well and lead his side to score 2-0 victory against Sri Lanka. India scored more than 100 Runs in the last 10 overs of the Inning. But with another evening of thrilling batting, Tillakaratne Dilshan proved right every single reason behind Sri Lanka's decision in January to open the innings with him permanently. Dilshan's fifth one-day century, and second in a row, was the dominant force in Sri Lanka clinching this win but it so nearly ended up in another lost cause, if not for Angelo Mathews. Dilshan contributed 63 to a 102-run opening stand, playing with the freedom and control fans have grown accustomed to; then, in the period where India followed up a double-strike with 12 boundary-less overs, he collected his century while ensuring the asking rate stayed in control. In the end with the missfield of Zaheer Khan Sri Lanka Named the Victory.
