'India likes batting first, not chasing' says captain Dhoni. Well, he needs to win the toss for it which isn't too much in his hands. in this match, Jayawardene won the toss & elected to bat. Early loss of openers and Srilankans had a sensational partnership between captain & vice-captain of Srilanka.

They recovered remarkably, and were unlucky to not get a score past 250. India, while chasing, depends heavily on Yuvraj Singh who, after scoring 39 runs from last 10 innings in Australia - Yuvraj finally came to party and Dhoni finished the match off.. tight finish and a confidence boosting win for the Indians..!
