Continuing his fine run, Pathan ripped through the Lankan top order before coming back to dismiss the lower middle order in the end. The Baroda speedster was ably supported by comeback man
Lakshmipathy Balaji, who claimed three for 28. Set a victory target of 147, Sri Lanka received an early jolt as Pathan castled opener Dilshan Munaweera on the last ball of the first over.
Brief scores: India 146 for 5 (Dhoni 55no, Rohit Sharma 37) ; Sri Lanka 120 (Irfan 5/25)
