After an exciting and enthralling three match test series,
India and Sri Lanka get ready to lock horns in the upcoming five
match India Sri Lanka one day series. India have played Sri Lanka quite a bit
over the past six months and this show-off will go a long way in determining the
rising force in Asian cricket. With tempers high after an ill-mouthed test series,
this is anticipated to be a hot headed opener and you can catch up with all the
cricket action from India vs Sri Lanka live online here with us, the premium cricket

India will be highly disappointed to lose the test
series after coming back so brilliantly in the second test. After shattering to
a huge innings defeat, Virender Sehwag and Harbhajan Singh inspired
India to one of their finest away wins in recent times before they came crashing
down to Earth in the third test. However, the ODI series offers India a chance
of success and redemption. India have been in pine form over the recent months
in One Day Internationals despite the finals defeat to both Pakistan and
Sri Lanka in the two recently concluded series. India will have wicket-keeper
skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni back for this clash while the likes of Sachin Tendulkar,
Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman and Anil Kumble take the
long flight back home. Suresh Raina and Robin Uthappa are sure to get a game in
the middle order while the bowling department will see Piyush Sharma joining up
the likes of Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma and Sreesanth. A victory here for the
men in blue will be the ideal way to kick-start this tournament and their preparation
for the upcoming Champions League trophy and you can expect a full bloodied encounter
when India take the field against the Lankans. Sri Lanka
are on a high after losing out badly in the CB Series in Australia. The Lankans
have redeemed themselves in recent months winning the Asia Cup followed by the
three match test series at home. One of the biggest stars of both these triumphs
in spinner Ajantha Mendis. Mendis has spun a web over the Indian batsman
and his bountiful of wickets in recent matches suggest that Sri Lanka have a super
spinner ready to take the place of Muttaih Muralitharan. Sri Lanka will
have Sanath Jayasurya back for this clash and that in itself will go a long way
in establishing confidence ahead of this clash. The southpaw is still among the
finest hitters of the cricket ball at the age of 39 and his performance in the
Asia Cup final will be regarded as one of the best innings in crunch situations.
Sri Lanka have spun a web across India in recent cricket matches and they will
be hoping to continue that this coming Monday 18th August 2008 in the first ODI
match of the five match series. Now don't let office and
