what makes you so happy about it.
still lots of game is to come.
can the wall stand the test again???
i dont think so… 
I still think Indian batting depth can pull it out of the trouble. But lets see, Right now Lankans are sure shot favorites.
Jayawardene, Sangakkara flay Indian attack](Yahoo is part of the Yahoo family of brands.)
DAMBULLA, Sri Lanka (AFP) - Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene plundered 116 runs off just 88 balls to help Sri Lanka post a challenging 282-4 against India in the Asia Cup Group-B league match here.
Jayawardene smashed an unbeaten 58 and left-handed Sangakkara a solid 57 to captialise on the efforts of their top-order batsmen after their team had elected to bat in the day-night game at the Rangiri International Stadium.
The pair dominated the Indian attack with their aggressive shots, helping their team score 83 in the final 10 overs.
Left-handed opener Avishka Gunawardene set the stage for the closing-overs onslaught with an impressive 49. He added 63 for the opening wicket with Saman Jayantha (34) and 65 for the second with skipper Marvan Atapattu (50).
Gunawardene, who scored 73 against the United Arab Emirates in the previous game on Saturday, missed his second successive half-century as he was run out following a mix-up with his captain.
Atapattu also fell in the similar fashion, but not before putting his team in a strong position with a half-century.
Sangakkara and Jayawardene then helped their team set a stiff target for the Indians with their hard and clean hitting on a slow turning pitch.
Jayawardene was more aggressive, once stepping out to hoist off-spinner Virender Sehwag for a huge six over long-on. He raced his half-century off just 49 balls with the help of one six and three fours.
Sangakkara hit one six and three fours in his 54-ball knock.
Fast bowlers Laxmipathy Balaji and Irfan Pathan were the only wicket-takers in a mediocre Indian bowling performance.
India and Sri Lanka have already qualified for the super league after defeating the UAE in the three-team group. The winners of this match will top the group.
India 112/4 (27.0 ov)
India require another 171 runs from 23.0 overs. Required RR: 7.43
they say once the RRR goes above 8, the chase is as good as over....
^ Those 'They' are wrong. These days runrate of 8 is achievable.

it depends on the number of overs left as well. It's not such a big deal if you have 3/4 overs left, however, in this case, i'd say it's a pretty uphill task.
*India 155/4 in 33 overs *
Require another 128 off 102 balls.
with just 14 overs to go, i think attapatu shud consider his key bowlers to handle the game (with 14 overs left between them)....
India 171/4 in 34 overs.
The problem with India is that the tail rarely wags.
Also, its time Ganguly's inconsistency with the bat is discussed. We can't continue to have a non-playing captain.
attapatu's stupid decision of letting dilshan continue bowling costs him 11 runs already in 4 balls....
See whether the Indians attempt to play the last 10 overs Pakistani style... :D
89 runs from 11 overs looks very much in reach....
sri lanka need a wicket and they need it bad....
This is going to be a close one. India has managed to save precious wickets.
88 runs required off 10.5 overs
