A day after India hammered Pakistan in an ODI that spanned two days, it was dismissed for only 213 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. And yet won with some ease.
Though records tumbled in the India-Pakistan match — joint-highest score against this opposition and biggest win in terms of runs, the story was different against Sri Lanka.
For starters, it was a game of two halves against Sri Lanka. When India batted, the ball stopped and came on to the bat erratically. Some batters were rushed into their shots while others finished their swing by the time contact was made, resulting in soft dismissals.
