India’s top order batsmen failed again. But Dhoni came to the rescue of the Indian team. Dhoni's crucial partnerships with Suresh Raina and Rohit Sharma, India were able to get past the 200-run mark after electing to bat.
India though handled their new nemesis Ajantha Mendis (3/56) well and scored runs off the mystery bowler comfortably but for his last two overs when Mendis almost got a hat-trick.
Dhoni, en route to his 23rd one-day half-century, shared a 54-run stand with Raina (53) for the fifth wicket and then weaved a crucial 67-run partnership for the sixth wicket with Sharma (32).
