Dhoni (45*of 52) showed yet again what a gr8 finisher he is by compiling the last 21 runs needed with only Ishant Sharma to play with...not to 4get his hamstring injury as he didn't seem fully fit.
India needed 15 runs in the last over....MSD on strike......Eranga runs in hard...bowls a dot delivery to begin with raising hopes of Sri Lanka...but that was the last 'Raised hopes' for them as next balls were 6, 4, 6 and India wins by 1 Wicket sparing 2 balls.The only difference of this final was that this time it wasn't Kulshekhara to get hit a winning Sixer but was Eranga who started well but Mahi spoiled his party.
Rangana Herath with his 4/20 was a master stroke from the Sri Lankans...which was almost supported by Ishant Sharma by giving 2 missed chances of run-out agitating Dhoni who was as usual playing sensibly and seeing the victory in sight when the viewers didn't seeing Ishant on crease :)
Anyways, back to back series win for India when it all started on a -ve note will surely hearten us.
(Now Sir Jadeja is just 10 wickets away of claiming 100 wickets in ODIs.)
