INDIA SRILANKA WORLD RECORD RAJKOT ONE DAY 15-12-2009

India beat Sri Lanka by three runs in a high-scoring first one-day international at Rajkot on Tuesday to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.

Chasing a seemingly improbable target of 415, the visitors mounted a well calculated challenge but eventually finished just short, managing 411 for eight in their stipulated 50 overs.

India have now won eight of their last 11 ODIs against Sri Lanka.




Sri Lanka began their innings on a steady note, mostly playing risk-free shots.

Upul Tharanga got a reprieve when Kohli spilt a simple chance at short point of Praveen Kumar Tharanga expressed his gratitude by hitting Ashish Nehra for a superb straight six.
