Match Summary :- Sachin Tendulkar's 44th ODI century propelled visitors to an imposing 319 after captain Dhoni elected a good toss. but, that defending that big target wasn't piece of cake for Indian bowlers as Sanath Jayasuriya and Tillakaratane Dilshan started in rocket style. Then, Thilan Kandamby and Chamara Kapugedera kept home team's hopes alive before Harbhajan Singh claimed last 3 of his 5 wickets to finish off the match.
Ground Reality :- this was India's only 3rd win in a tournament final in last 11 years.. 22nd overall, Indians still have won only 3 finals and lost 17 of them!
