An underwhelming Indian innings starts by Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma playing by watchful Sri lanka players bowling and their fielding because there is no need for India to hurry with just 202 runs to get.
Shikhar Dhawan get on the bowling of Shaminda Eranga. A back-of-the-length ball bounces off the surface, Dhawan gets an edge by a bat which carries ball in the hand of keeper that time India score was 23/1 after 9 overs.
Next player Virat Kohli comes in the ground to play his terrific shorts against Sri lanka players but not able to do so. The big one of Virat Kohli a length delivery by Eranga which kept a bit low. Kohli dragged into a push, faint edge and collected by Sangakkara. India 27/2 in 11 overs.
India runs are very low needs powerful shorts to win
Lasith Malinga into the attack. After 9 dot balls in a row Rohit slashes wildly, gets a thick top-edge and the ball sails over the boundary. India 37/2 after 14 overs.
Dinesh Karthik is looking extremely tentative. He lobs a Lasith Malinga delivery down the pitch, almost into the hands of the bowler. He needs a drink and the umpires duly oblige. India 43/2 in 16 overs.
Rohit Sharma is struck on the box, yet again! An in-swinger by Suranga Lakmal strikes the opener on the abdomen. Remember, Rohit was struck twice in the same place when these two sides met two days ago.
Karthik and Rohit Sharma had put on 50 runs for the third wicket. India 77/3 after 23 overs.
Rohit Sharma is bowled! A flatter delivery by Rangana Herath, Sharma is cramped for room and cannot get his bat down in time. To be fair the ball kept a bit low as well. India 139/4 in 31.1 overs, needing 63 runs to win.
Suresh Raina (32) is caught behind. Sri Lanka have stormed back into the final. Lakmal pitched up a delivery outside-off and Raina takes the bait, attempts a drive and edges it to the keeper. India 145/5 in 34.1 overs.
Dhoni and Jadeja are the last recognised batting pair. India need 56 runs in 91 deliveries.
first Ravindra Jadeja and then R Ashwin first ball! Both very similar dismissals, both lbw. Jadeja trapped on the back foot while R Ashwin is hit on the knee roll. India 152/7 in 37.2 overs.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar survives the hat-trick ball, Rangana Herath finishes with figures of 4/20 in his 10 overs.
Captain Cool MS Dhoni to take India to the tilte. He's on the aggressive and slashes wildly at Suranga Lakmal, top-edge for four. India need 45 in 11 overs with 3 wickets in hand.
Two boundaries in the over for Dhoni, India need 37 in 10 overs with 3 wickets in hand
Bhuvneshwar lbw by slow yorker bowling of malinga next player Vinay Kumar comes out and India need 35 to win in 8 overs with 2 wickets in hand.
The match is going down to the wire. Vinay wants a single off the last ball but Dhoni wisely turns him back. India need 24 in 30 deliveries.
Vinay Kumar is dismissed! India nine down. He slashes a back-of-the length Mathews delivery to short third-man. Sri Lanka one wicket away from a tri-series victory.
Ishant Sharma negotiates the final ball of the 47th over. India (MS Dhoni) need 19 runs in 18 balls. Edge-of-your-seat stuff this!
Dhoni struggles to get Malinga away, manages just two runs in the over. India need 17 runs in 12 deliveries, but Ishant to face
It comes down to MS Dhoni and the last over. India need 15 runs to win. Dhoni to face
