24 runs off Malinga over - never seen anything like it. Probably best chase in one day history under must win conditions.

just wow

Malinga to Kohli, FOUR
34.5
Malinga to Kohli, FOUR
34.4
Malinga to Kohli, FOUR, he's shredded Malinga. Absolute battering this now. This is almost the perfect yorker, it tails in and hurtles towards the toes. Kohli's bat comes down decisively, taking advantage of a missed inch of length. Four through fine leg.
34.3
Malinga to Kohli, FOUR, take cover in the covers! Pitched up outside off stump, and Kohli smashes it between cover and mid-off. Malinga squints as he follows the path of the ball.
34.2
Malinga to Kohli, SIX, Gambhir won't mind this. It could end in the 38th over. Length, length, listless length ball on the pads, Kohli's wrists do the rest and send them into the night sky. They land in the grassbanks again.
34.1
Malinga to Kohli, 2 runs, he smiles. He doesn't curse, he smiles. Kohli has played the innings of his life. Malinga goes full on middle and leg, Kohli flicks into the deep and hurries back for the second. And he soaks in the atmosphere. Take a bow, Kohli!

India wins
Re: India Vs. Sri Lanka Commonwealth Tri Series - penultimate qualiftying match Hobar
Never seen anything like it, probably never will. Won in 36.4 overs!!
Re: India Vs. Sri Lanka Commonwealth Tri Series - penultimate qualiftying match Hobar
india chased 321 in 36.4 overs....with reasonable extrapolation they were on track to chase a score of 450+.
Re: India Vs. Sri Lanka Commonwealth Tri Series - penultimate qualiftying match Hobar
hot damn. just saw the onslaught in the end.
sri lankans could do nothing but see indians hitting the ball all over the ground.

indian batting future seems to be in good hands.

Re: India Vs. Sri Lanka Commonwealth Tri Series - penultimate qualiftying match Hobar
makes you wonder why India don't consistently bat well like this. Unlike Pakistan, they have quality batters in their side so they should really be posting 270-80 totals in 80% of the games
Re: India Vs. Sri Lanka Commonwealth Tri Series - penultimate qualiftying match Hobar
The Man of the Match is Kohli: "To be able to chase 320 in 40 overs in a must win game, and put that sort of a batting effort together was a great team effort. I committed a few mistakes in the last games after getting to 20 and 30, trying to middle every ball, which doesn't happen always in international cricket. This shows our character as a team, and how well we can execute our plans. It is about working hard and sticking in there. We will be rooting for Australia in Friday. This is a special feeling, probably my best one-day innings so far."
Dhoni: "This was some of the best ODI cricket I have been a part of. When you need 321 off 40, you need a good start. You need the quantity, but the quality ... We wanted to keep them down to 250, maximum 270.. We knew we had the firepower, but still 320 was more than we could digest. But once we got that start, we knew we could kick on. We are going on a couple of days of shopping, and some practice at the same time. Its not in our hands now."
Mahela: "You can't do much when they bat like that.. Virat played out of his skin on a true pitch. It was the first off day for our bowlers in the tournament, so fair enough. It wasn't just Kohli, it was also the way the others batted around him. Our qualification is still in our hands, which is great. Hope we come back from this and win in Melbourne."
