*Colombo:* _Harbhajan Singh_ took five wickets as Sri Lanka were bowled out for 273 in their 320-run chase as India won the Compaq Cup on Monday.
Full match report to follow
A sensational 133-ball 138 by _Sachin Tendulkar_ powered India to 319-5 in the final of the Compaq Cup against Sri Lanka on Monday.
<hr>
Tendulkar's marathon knock was accompanied by stellar half-centuries by _MS Dhoni_ and _Yuvraj Singh_.
The Indian batting that had struggled to get partnerships going in the previous two games, stitched three big stands to set Sri Lanka a massive challenge.
Tendulkar was also well supported by _Rahul Dravid_ (39) in a 95-run opening stand.
After Dravid perished to Sanath Jauasuriya in the 18th over, Indian skipper _MS Dhoni_, who had the fortune of winning the crucial toss, joined the Tendulkar to weave a 110-run stand.
Dhoni clobbered three fours in his 62-run knock, which was put to an end by _Lasith Malinga_ when the Indian captain tried to up the ante in the batting powerplay.
In the death overs, India was powered by a brutal knock by an unbeaten 56 from _Yuvraj Singh_. The southpaw hit six boundaries and one six to reach his 41st ODI fifty. Tendulkar too unleashed an array of shots that included two consecutive boundaries of _Ajantha Mendis_ before falling leg-before to him.
_Virat Kohli_, who replaced _Dinesh Karthik_, was not out on two off as many balls.
The hosts without their star spinner _Muttiah Muralitharan_, hope to win the game to take revenge of their previous two bilateral series loss to India in limited overs. _Ajantha Mendis_ has got a game in place of Muralitharan.
