Sehwag Sizzel's in India's win

One of the key instructions given to the Indian team after their 200-run mauling by New Zealand was to take a three-day break. A lot was made of this decision to go into sleep mode during the build-up to the World Cup. But Monday justified the think-tank's decision as India cruised to a six-wicket. victory over Sri Lanka to open their account in the tri-series
A wonderfully-paced 100-ball unbeaten 99 under pressure from opener Virender Sehwag enabled India, pursuing 171, defeat Sri Lanka by six wickets in a Micromax ODI tri-series match at the Rangiri Stadium here on Monday. India won with a bonus point.
Sehwag exploded towards the finish, pulling seamer Angelo Mathews for the maximum and striking off-spinner Suraj Randiv over square-leg for a six. With the scores level, he thwacked a no-ball from Randiv over the long-off fence but the stroke did not count as India had already clinched the match after the bowler overstepped the crease. Sehwag was adjudged Man-Of-the-Match.
Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (23 not out) provided Sehwag fine support in a decisive unbeaten 80-run partnership for the fifth wicket. The Indian captain's off-drive off Lasith Malinga stood out.
