Batting : Sri Lanka
Bowling : India
India beat the Lankans in their own den by 46 runs to register their first bilateral series win in Sri Lanka. It was yet another significant win for the young team India. India put on a fighting total batting first but Sri Lanka came back strongly bowling India out for just 258 runs. Sri Lanka kept on losing wickets at regular intervals and finally succumbed to the pressure. Thushara gave a late scare but could not to avoid the inevitable. He played a good knock of 40 runs and took 5 wickets but Raina was the Man of the Match for his excellent knock. Sri Lanka will play for pride in the last ODI while India will be up for experiments. Thats all from us for the day, have a nice time.

India win the toss and elected to bat
Billy Doctrove (WI) and Gamini SIlva (SL) are the two officiating umpires for todays match. Tyron Wijewardene (SL) is the TV umpire. Chris Broad will have an eye on the over all proceeding of the match.
The pitch is similar to the one in the last match. The pitch is on the dry side and the team winning the toss will surely like to make the first use of the strip.
Due to constant rain the match could not be played yesterday. Today once again India and Sri Lanka will lock horns against each other for glory. India will go all out for the kill for a series victory while the Lanakan fight will be for survival.
The sun is shining brightly today and we will hope to get a proper day of full cricket.
After a poor performance in Test series, India were under a lot of pressure but India came back
fighting to take a 2-1 lead in the ODI series. India won the second ODI by 33 runs and a win in the fourth ODI means that India pocket the series. India faced the M&M factor with ease in the third ODI and belted them for 104 runs. Dhoni was the star of the show scoring 76 runs. A late scare from Jayawardena (94) could have proved costly for the visitors but the Indian bowlers were bang on target. The seamers played a crucial role in the win as they we responsible for 8 Lankan wickets.
Sri Lanka were high on confidence after a one sided first ODI but India gave a shot in their arm taking the lead in the series. The visitors will go all out for the kill in the fourth ODI with a chance of pocketing the series. Pressure will be on the Emerald Islanders who need to wake up now if they have any plans of shocking the inform Indians.
The pitch is expected to be a good batting wicket but in the last match it favoured the bowlers in the second half.
Meanwhile Indian skipper Dhoni has asked his team to attack Mendis as he thinks that attack is the best form of defence while his counterpart said backing his spinners that they did bowl well and a bad day at the office doesnot mean that they have lost their class.
In thier last five ODI's India have lost 2 and won 3 while Sri Lanka have won 2 and lost 3.
Who will edge out whom in the all important clash is all what we have to look out for.
