India's captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni promoted himself in the batting order and helmed a spirited response to Sri Lanka's formidable score of 274 alongwith Gautam Gambhir.
The partnership of 109 runs off 118 deliveries steadied the Indian innings after a wobbly start when the home team lost Sehwag and Tendulkar cheaply. Gambhir, however, missed his century and Kohli was bowled at 97 after he attempted an out-of-crease-drive to a straight delivery to Perera.
In the Sri Lanka innings, riding on a brilliant 103 from ace batsman Mahela Jayawardene, who came good at the right time, the guests put up an impressive total of 274 for 6 at the World Cup final against India on Saturday.
Though the Sri Lankan batsmen began edgy against a disciplined bowling and fielding display by India, Mahela Jayawardene's knock and some fine batting by Nuwan Kulusekara during the batting powerplay wrested the initiative from India in the final hour
