Match 3 and 4: The story of two one sided matches

Both India and SriLanka won their respective matches comfortably against Bangladesh. Although India were once reduced to 51 for 3 in their chase of 297, but then young Kohli impressed with his knock of 91 and our Mr Cool, Dhoni scored his 7th century and took India home along with Raina with an unbeaten 94 run stand after adding 152 for the 4th wicket with Kohli. Dhoni once again proved his capability to play under pressure by scoring a ton, for which he was awarded with the Man of the Match. And I must also say, the next Indian captian in the making is Virat Kohli. The temperament he has shown in the last few months is amazing, though still its early days for him, he will live up to the expectations.

The very next day Bangladesh had a daunting task on their hand once again against SriLanka and they once again proved that they are still the Minnows. SL first limit Bang to just 249 on a good pitch and then Jayawardena, who came back after being rested, belted the Bandladesh bowlers along with Tharanga and managed to add more than 200 for the first wicket. And soon without any problems, the islanders won with more than 7 overs to spare and fixed their place in the finals. Now India have to win only one of their two remaining matches to reach the finals and move closer to their goal of reaching to the peak of the ODI rankings.
