3rd ODI SL vs IN:India win by 5-wickets

Gautam Gambhir

India won the 3rd One Day International against Sri Lanka by 5 wickets after chasing down a target of 287. Gautam Gambhir top scored with 102 runs for the Indians.
it was an excellent sixth wicket partnership between Suresh Raina (65*) and Irfan Pathan (34*) that guided them home. Raina and Irfan Pathan deserve as much credit as Gambhir. Both of them had some nervous moments as boundaries came off leading edges. But once they were set, they dictated the proceedings and scored boundaries at will leading their side to victory.

India now lead the ODI series 2-1.
