A collapse from 171 for 2 to 201 all out also does not happen often. Thirimanne and Sangakkara worked so hard on a difficult pitch, and both gave it away. And then the young lower middle order of Mathews, Chandimal and Kusal Perera, all of them disappointing. How long do Sri Lanka rely on the senior batsmen? Sri Lanka seemed to have it under control as Dhoni used the part-timers against Thirimanne and Sanga, but they lost three wickets in the batting Powerplay and continued to slip thereafter. Absolutely nothing from the tail as well. Poor batting gifting India a chase of 202. It is gettable, the pitch hasn't played as hard as the ones before it - Cricinfo</p></blockquote><p></p>
