Srilanka registers their first win

SrioLankans won a rain ridden 5th ODI against India to register their first win in this tri-series.

He gave away 23 runs in a single over to boost up the run rate. The Indian batting clicked this time to score a whopping 195 runs in just 29 overs but that was not enough to stop Lankans especially Jayasurya who was in a punishing mood. He scored 27 runs in just 13 balls to up the ante early in the game. Tilakaratne Dilshan managed to stay till the end and become the man of the match for his fine knock of 62 in 59 balls. Mahela was the other batsman at the crease with 36 runs off 35 balls. Ishanth and Bhajji shared a piece each and the other bowlers were smashed all over the park. For India Rohit made 70 runs and remained unbeaten.
