India beat Sri Lanka by 21 runs in the first One-Day International in Hambantota, thanks
to the second-wicket partnership of 173 between Virender Sehwag and Virat
Kohli. India built a giant total of 314 for six. Kohli scored his 12th century
from 106 balls while Sehwag
fell four
short of his 16th ODI century as he was run-out. Raina smashed 50 from 45 balls
and Dhoni scored 35 from 29, hitting 64 off the final six overs.
In reply, Sri Lanka managed to reach 293 for nine. Upul Tharanga and Kumar
Sangakkara put on 77 for the second-wicket. But middle-order batsmen failed to contribute
much. Thisara Perera, as and Sangakkara added 78 in just 53 balls for the
seventh-wicket, showing some resistance.
