The wealthinsurance series between India and Srilanka has reached its final stage today as the 5th and the final ODI gets underway in Colombo today. Through out the series India had the upper hand by winning the first 4 games and registered their 9th straight win in ODI’s. Almost all the players played their part in these 4 matches except sachin who was adjudged lbw in all the three matches he played was a bit unfortunate. All the three decisions were gone against Sachin. Those decisions could have been given in batsmans’s favour. Anyway hope it will be a learning experience for the three umpires who have given Sachin out.
The wicket of Gautam Gambhir in the 4th game helped Muthiah Muralidharan to overtake Wasim Akram’s 502 ODI wickets and now he become the first ever bowler to lead the most number of wicket table in the both aspects of the game.
Apart from the first ODI, India have won the rest of the three ODI’s by batting first. Srilanka have come closer to the first and the second matches but couldn’t finish the game on a winning note.
With the final match being played in daylight and India to bat second, it would be an interesting contest one should say.
As the Aussies gone 2-0 down against the Kiwis this final match of the wealthinsurance cup will be a great opportunity for Team India to climb to the Number 1 spot in the ICC rankings.
