Sri Lanka wins the ODI series over Pakistan

Wow, what a knock it was from Mahela Jayawardhana and Upul Tharanga of 202 record braking opening partnership, which brings Sri Lanka the first ODI series win over Pakistan at Home.

When Pakistan hit 288 I thought "its OK we will be having two other matches at Colombo to mark the series win", coz I never thought we (Sri Lanka) will win the match at Dambulla even without Sanath Jayasuriya. Well, I was completely wrong but after watching 12 overs of Sri Lankan batting I knew that we are going to win. I had much stuff tobe done, but just set for watching a couple of overs of yet another Sokian batting :-), but I get off from my seat even after the awards presentation.

See the Full score card it was marvolles. It was all Mahela's game today Congratulations to him!

Everybody was talking about Mahela who had become the man of the match, well he deserves that, but if not that decision of Ashoka De Silva to wrongly judge Upul Tharanga to be victimed to a LBW, Tharanga would have been going for a century for sure as well.

Apart from that I saw a fabulus catch from Mathews, he is a such a talented cricketer and a great finding into the Sri Lankan team, he can ball very well, his batting is quite out standing and nothign to talk about his fielding, I just got to remember Roshan Mahanama for a second when I saw Mathews taking that in flight return catch.


Finally, this man has something to talk about in every match, so proving that he has his portion to talk about him in this match as well. Congratulations to Muralli for the hurdle of 600 ODI wickets.

I am delighted to see the T/20, Pakistan is the world cup holder ;-), lets wait and see.
