The way the Lankans bated, hats off to them, it looked asthough easily they would win the 1st ODI match. Unfortunately they lost just by 3 runs by scoring 441 runs. Although I'm India supporter, but I would like to comment on this match as it is Srilanka who lost the 1st ODI by 3 runs rather than commenting India won the First ODI.
I think on this batting wicket, Sachin could have had a better rate of scoring.
All in all, a good win and congrats to Sri Lanka. You have to be a huge fan of Sri Lankan cricket. They have batsman till number 9. Mathews and Kandamby are good players too.
This is a high octane series with only attack. Both teams are better off with only sluggers.
