    There you go, another whipping handed to India by the Sri Lankans. The new look Indian side didn't really do any better. India won the toss, elected to bat but their batting fell apart big time. The bowlers did well initially but then Kapugedera and Mahela got together in an unbeaten and match winning partnership. It turned out to be a one sided affair. Lets hope that the next one is a better contest. We will see you again in the 2nd ODI. Till then it is good bye and good night.
