Sri Lanka 254/6 in 50 overs (Tharanga 64, L Silva 59) beat India 185/10 in 43.3 overs (Dravid 60, Sehwag 48, Muralitharan 41/3) by 69 runs.
Match home
Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. One of the darkest days in Indian cricket history as they put a spineless performance in a do-or-die game to crash out of the World Cup. Batting first on a difficult pitch, SL amassed 254. For a team like India with the Tendulkars, Dravids, Gangulys, Sehwags, Yuvrajs, Dhonis it shouldn't have been a tall order. The pitch eased out in the afternoon when India batted but the much vaunted batting line up failed miserably to get rolled over for 185. This is India's worst WC performance since 1979. Unless Bermuda can turn the world upside down by beating B'desh, India is out of this WC.
The gloom on the indian player's faces told the story. Man of the Match, Muralitharan paid the perfect tribute when he said that the Indian team had the best betting line up on paper in this competition. The greats like Dravid, Ganguly, Tendulkar and Kumble will retire without a World Cup medal. Sad. Very Sad.
