Video Source: Star Cricket India v Sri Lanka, CB Series, Hobart India won by 7 wickets and earn a bonus-point win against Sri Lanka; ndia 321 for 3 (Kohli 133*) beat Sri Lanka 320 for 4 by seven wickets Live scorecard and ball-by-ball details Turnarounds don't come any better. Fortunes don't change more dramatically. And emotions don't bear a starker contrast. At the halfway stage, Sri Lanka would have felt they had one foot in the final, having left the India bowlers deflated after a dominating performance with the bat. And they would have been right to think that way, the Indian batting having shown little promise in the series and the team on the brink of elimination. But an imperious display of strokemaking by Virat Kohli, whose mercurial wrists powered an Indian fightback conspicuous in its absence on what had been, uptil now, two forgettable overseas trips, made a mockery of an imposing score, kept India's finals hopes alive and left Sri Lanka with the unenviable task of beating the form team in the tournament to knock India out. More to follow ... 75 overs India 190 for 2 (Kohli 57*, Gambhir 56*) need another 131 runs to beat Sri Lanka 320 for 4 Live scorecard and ball-by-ball details India showed plenty of spunk in their response to an imposing Sri Lankan score, a task made all the more difficult by the pressure of having to scale it down in 40 overs to retain hope of qualifying for the tournament finals. They, however, showed little sign of that pressure, and the openers, especially, batted uninhibitedly before Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir continued the fight, scoring fluently, keeping India's required rate to an achievable limit and preserving their wickets to keep Sri Lanka on their toes after their dominating performance with the bat.
