India vs SL Sri Lanka 5th ODI Highlights 2009

Watch India vs Sri Lanka 5th ODI Live Score, Highlights 2009 here. India has won the series convincingly with a match to spare. The series is sealed theoretically; India winning the test series, winning the 5-match ODI series with a match to spare and the T20 series drawn with each team sharing one win each.

Still there is a match left to bid adieu to the series and the two teams will battle it out. It is not insignificant because there is a following tri series with Bangladesh joining; so a win will boost confidence to either of the teams.

Team India is definitely riding high on confidence having sealed with convincing victory, and joining of MS Dhoni into the team will further boost it. Sehwag had done a great job as stand in captain in the absence of Dhoni.

Dinesh Kartik may have to sit out with Dhoni coming back, although he did a wonderful job as keeper and batsman. India can try and experiment giving chance to Sudeep Tyagi or Ojha in place of tired warhorses like Bhajji and Zaheer Khan. Both bowling and fielding are the places that team India will need to work and over work.

Sri Lanka on the other hand had been a struggling side plagued with injuries and inexperienced bunch of players. They will have to put behind their losses and play with positive frame of mind. If India had chased 300+ runs it is they who have given that challenge to them in the first place. Putting up a total of 300+ in India is no mean achievement and they should believe in themselves that they have what it takes to beat the men in Blue. They will play to save them from grace!
