Most awaited scenario, it was the semi final between the two very familiar foes and guess what.... You find every thing picture perfect for what was supposed to be tough and a boring day of cricket even as the weather which was surely prepared for washing out the whole game..
With all that being assumed before the match, it turned to be a total opposite. Not only was the weather but also the surface.. I personally felt that this was the first match of CT 2013 played amidst an english condition... When I say this I mean the swing, the weather,the movement.. The nature of the wicket which made every cricket lover lick his tongue seeing the batsmen play and miss.. Bowler moving it head to tail...
What the weather did was it delayed the start of the game and slowed the outfield to add to the batsmen woes.. India having won the toss and electing to bowl first used the conditions perfectly.. Kumar in particular with Sharma removed the top order cheapy before the on-slaught of Indian spinners restricting SL to a par score of 181 .
At this point SRI LANKA are 181/8 after their 50 overs giving INDIA a target of 182..
