India may have been outplayed by Sri Lanka in all the departments of the game, but MS Dhoni did not fall short of the excuses. He blamed the loss on to the lack of partnerships that the Indians came up with. Dhoni said that each time a partnership grew in the Indian batting, the Sri Lankan side were able to bowl that magical delivery to get the batsmen out.

India play Pakistan in the fourth game of the Asia Cup and the fireworks are expected to fly out of the game. India goes into the game with a lot of confidence having beaten Bangladesh rather easily, whereas Pakistan know that this is a must-win scenario for them given that the side had lost to Sri Lanka in the first game of the tournament.

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.

Virender Sehwag almost entered the record books when he fell seven runs short of scoring his third triple century in the history of test match cricket. No player has ever done this so far in test match cricket and Sehwag came within seven runs of doing that before the maestro Muthiah Muralitharan lulled him into playing a shot too early and giving him a return catch!
