Sri Lanka will be gunning for revenge after two straight reverses when they
come up against India in the fourth One Dayer of the ongoing India Sri
lanka give match One Day Series. India have fought back brilliantly into
contention after going 1-0 down in the series and this clash will be a test of
team India's ability of wrapping up One Day series after leading them when they
come up against hyper charged Sri Lanka this coming Tuesday 26th August 2008 at
Colombo. Click
for Live Score Card of Sri Lanka vs IndiaA brilliant
spell of seam bowling by Zaheer Khan and Praveen Kumar tore apart
the Sri Lankan batting line up in the third one dayer last Sunday. The pace duo
were right on mark from ball one and their form will encourage the Indian bowling
think tank in the face of some rather poor performances by the batting. The batting
line up has disappointed big time in this series with the likes of Yuvraj, Gautam
Gambhir and Rohit Sharma all being woefully out of touch. Yuvraj in particular
has been at sea against Ajantha Mendis and the Indians will need to sort out the
wily spinner if they are to have a shot at a huge total. However, one plus point
will undoubtedly be the form of skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Badrinath. The
young Tamil Nadu batsman has shown his calibre throughout the series and with
Dhoni in good touch following his unbeaten seventy six in the previous clash,
India have enough reasons to be optimistic about when they come up against Sri
Lanka this coming Tuesday. On the other hand, the Emerald island are paying
a price for having a batting line up that in all fairness consist of just three
established performers in Kumara Sangakkara, Sanath Jayasurya and
Mahela Jayawardena. Jayawardena to his credit though has been the standout
player of this series and his batting performances lends credibility to what has
otherwise been a very lacklustre series for the Sri Lankan batting outfit. The
likes of Jayasurya and Sangakkara have struggled big time and that is one of the
reasons why Sri Lanka's highest total in this series stands at 204. Victory here
will enable Sri lanka to come back 2-2 in the five match series and with their
backs to the wall following two close defeats, Sri Lanka will be anxious to make
amends this time around with a strong performance. Don't miss a single moment
