[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

India won the toss. Playing the same side.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

India elected to bowl first.

 

[Ankit007]

Need to restrict them to 160 or below...

 

[Titan of Technique]

Yipee!!! Fernando returns.Also we have Dilshan, Yuvi and Dhoni playing.Awesome memories of 2008 revisited

 

[Noman]

Why do india want to chasing?

 

[Ankit007]

Why do india want to chasing?

to get experience of chasing and be ready for any situation

 

[aniket1911]

India haven't Chased throughout the series. So seems a good thing to do from practice POV.

 

[aniket1911]

Ashwin the T20 bowler is underrated.
Only if he had power game. Sigh

 

[Noman]

Yeah seems good planning

 

[aniket1911]

ashwin my bohyy

 

[Ankit007]

Ash and Dhoni combo strikes for India...

 

[aniket1911]

The potential star of SL is in.
Have high hopes from him.

 

[carrom_ball]

I like this new strategy of Dhoni of opening with ashwin and finishing with bumrahh

 

[carrom_ball]

How is the outfield today guys?

 

[aniket1911]

Watching ashwin bowl is like poetry in motion and as i say dilshan

 

[Ankit007]

ASHWIN you beauty.. Outstanding.. Ash is a beast of a bowler. 1st over double strike.. woo hooo

 

[jusarrived]

What a first over that .

 

[Ankit007]

How is the outfield today guys?

Much better than last time,

 

[LastManstanding]

Nehra seems charged up.

 

[carrom_ball]

Much better than last time,

Thanks, last match was an abomination

 

[Spidy201]

first over and its turning. wow!!!
hope pitches are same in Wt20 aswell

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

3/2 don't think we will chase more than 140 here.

 

[aniket1911]

Legend bowling like a legend
Chandimal

 

[Ankit007]

Vishakhapatnam ground is so beautiful...

 

[BaaliSoda]

What a beautiful looking outfield Vizag stadium has got.

A sight for sore eyes (after Ranchi's poor outfield last game)

 

[Thivagar]

Things are back to normal again. SL openers are playing without brain, Ashwin dominating SL batsmen and India giving epic pounding to the SL team.

 

[aniket1911]

Seems like BCCI made for botched up outfield in last match by providing an Outfield where you could even ice skate.

 

[LastManstanding]

Chamdimal ***

 

[Ankit007]

3rd one for Ash... Chandimal got no brain. What was that??

 

[BaaliSoda]

Ashwin is dismantling SL batsmen like he did in SL tour.

Chandimal gone.

 

[aniket1911]

chandimal what have you done my bohy.

 

[Spidy201]

another one bites the dust.

 

[Spidy201]

hatrick time!!!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

5fer coming up for ashwin

 

[Indian_Supporter]

Things are back to normal again. SL openers are playing without brain, Ashwin dominating SL batsmen and India giving epic pounding to the SL team.

If you win today, it will be the first time SL will win a series in India in any format. So lots at stake for SriLanka I believe.

 

[aniket1911]

Ashwin is gonna eat batting line-ups alive if pitches are like this in WT20.

 

[Ankit007]

Ash has changed game for india in space of 7 balls

 

[LastManstanding]

Looked like an edge.

Edit: no it wasnt

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Dropped. Did they watch our under 19 match today?

 

[street cricketer]

The SL batsmen are shooting themselves in their foot by taking on Ash on a turning wicket.

 

[aniket1911]

Harsha summed up ashwin bowling perfectly. loopy outswing bowler

 

[Thivagar]

Mostly Chandimal and Dickwella will be dropped. Thirimanne will replace Chandimal.

 

[Thivagar]

The SL batsmen are shooting themselves in their foot by taking on Ash on a turning wicket.

This is what happens when you don't respect a world class bowler.

 

[aniket1911]

Bumrah is all over the batsman.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Good start from Bumrah

 

[Bhaijaan]

Sri Lanka remain India's favorite time pass punching bags

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

How many SL players are there in T20 world cup squad from this team...

Anybody?

 

[aniket1911]

 

[carrom_ball]

Sri Lanka remain India's favorite time pass punching bags

[aniket1911]

 

[BaaliSoda]

Ashwin gets 4th wicket

 

[street cricketer]

This outfield is beautiful.

 

[Ankit007]

[carrom_ball]

[Indian_Supporter]

[BeautifulGame]

That's just unlucky

 

[Ankit007]

It seems all 10 wickets will go to Ashwin

 

[BaaliSoda]

Superb loop from Ash

 

[Thivagar]

 

[Ankit007]

Oh gosh! Its like a test match for Ash

 

[aniket1911]

Ashwin 4-5 what the....

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Poor umpiring.

 

[Thivagar]

[Indian_Supporter]

Ashwin - An IPL product right there

[Ankit007]

Legendary spell from Ashwin....

Betting on him for most no.of wickets in world cup....Cant see anyone beating him in the race..

Looks like Nehra have a say..

 

[carrom_ball]

Ahhhh no 10-fer for ashwin , damn you nehra

 

[OneTip-OneHand]

Cant see SL going beyong 80. Revenge for 1st game?

 

[street cricketer]

This is what happens when you don't respect a world class bowler.

There are wickets where you can take Ashwin on. On the roads in Australia or NZ where there is hardly any spin, he can be taken on. He generally takes a defensive line on unresponsive pitches. But on turning wickets, he'll let out all his box of tricks and variations. It's better if they had played him cautiously and taken on others. Dickwella especially played a very bad shot.
