| Lankans thumped at Andhra Stadium |
| A run a ball 107 by Chamara Silva was in vain as it could not prevent India from running away with the Hero Honda ODI series when they recorded an emphatic seven wicket victory with six overs to spare in the final one dayer played at the ACA VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam yesterday. The match was reduced to 47 overs due to a wet outfield with India winning the toss and opting to field. |
