India vs Srilanka : 2008 cricket tour : Match Schedule

Filed under Ind in SL 2008

Srilanka-Cricket-Map.jpg Last time India were in Srilanka - August 2001 - the 3 test match series proved to be an intriguing contest where Lankans demolished India with 10 wickets victory but Visitors came back with 7 wickets victory in second test match, chasing target of 264. The decider test match at SSC Colombo again turned into one-sided battle as Lankans won it by an innings and 77 runs.

Prior to this 2008 tour, only other test win for India came in their 2nd tour to the lankan island, back in 1993.. interestingly, both of other two tests of that series were drawns and thus - that was also a test series victory for India on Srilanka soil - their first n only so far, way back in 1993.

15 years hence, fixtures of India's tour to Srilanka has been finalized. Now to find a winner - Srilankan pitches will be under the scanner which are known to be batsmen friendly with some help for spinners. that said - accurate bowlers over the years have showed how to frustrate batsmen & take wickets on those flat Lankan wickets.

Can experienced Indian team make enough runs & take 20 Srilankans wickets? or will it again be a Muthiah Muralitharan Magic on his home soil? well.. here's the tour schedule.
