Please discuss this match below.

Yuvraj and Sehwag are going to be key players. If either of them fires, we're good to go. I'm not too sure about Nehra. He bowled quiet poorly in the T20s. Ishant showed a lot of fire in his bowling and might be back in the playing XI.

We're gonna miss Yuvi

I haven't been such a follower of any ongoing series. After looking at the scoreboard from 2nd twenty20 match - Yuvraj seemed to have his confidence back and he would hold the key to India in winning. As Farhan mentioned above, "Indian batsman Yuvraj Singh's participation in the opening match of the ODI series against Sri Lanka is in doubt after he complained of pain in his little finger on the left hand while fielding during the second Twenty20 in Mohali on Saturday." looks like he will be sitting out for the 1st ODI. Let's hope he doesn't. This is it for Sri Lanka, they have to either win this series or go home empty handed. India gave them a tough time from tests to twenty20... hopefully, now their cockiness wouldn't cost them any matches. Sri Lanka will come out strong and India have to prepare for it. So, let the await begin for this odi and happy holidays to all

incredible match simply amazing.  a cool fact is that most of the time a side scores 400 batting first the other team score 400 as well

What a game!!! I agree with you Cabinet, its crazy both teams seem to reach 400 in a match [except a strong and weak team are playing].

But I feel there should be a balance in the game. What do you think this will do to the moral of bowlers. Bowling on such flat tracks is not fair to bowlers.
