Bolstered by two consecutive victories, a confident India
will aim to wrap up the five-match series when they take on Sri
Lanka in the third cricket one-dayer here
tomorrow.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni's men have been on target in the first
two matches but the Indian captain would be taking no chance under floodlights
after India just about managed a close 15-run win in a nail-biting day-night
affair at the Premadasa Stadium on Saturday.
Dhoni, who has led the team to seven successive ODI wins, ha
swarned his teammates against dropping their guards before the series was
claimed.A few chinks were seen in the Indian armour in the second match when
bowlers looked confused in the powerplay overs and Dhoni wants a more
disciplined show by his bowlers.
The batting has also not fired but to be fair, the Indians
have been hit hard by a few dubious umpiring decisions. But the top order
batsmen have to get into the act quickly if they hope to clinch the series tomorrow
itself.
Sachin Tendulkar has been a victim of poor umpiring
decisions in both the matches and the maestro will be hoping that he gets the
chance to make amends tomorrow.In bowling dapertment, pace spearhead Zaheer
Khan and Ishant Sharma have a big role to play since India do not have any
experienced spinners in their ranks.
Dhoni, who is known for his calm composure in anxious
moments, lost his cool when he saw bowlers clueless in the powerplay overs.
