Sri Lanka lost a crucial player even before their campaign in the ICC World T20 had begun as their top off-spin bowler, Muthiah Muralitharan, has been declared unfit and was ruled out of the ICC World T20 tournament due to a groin injury. Murali had sustained this injury in the game against New Zealand which was also the opening encounter of the tournament. Muralitharan will not rest for two to three weeks, and Murali may miss out of the series against New Zealand to be played in the USA.

MS Dhoni was the other centurion in the innings, as Indians recovered from their abysmal start of 32/4 and got to the realms of safety.

Even as India has lost the home ODI series to Australia, the Sri Lankans are sharpening their claws for the more than a month long tour of India. Sri Lanka will play two T20Is, five ODIs and three test matches on the tour, in what will be their first complete tour after quite a while.
