On the tournament’s best batting pitch, Tillakaratne Dilshan played one of his finest ODI innings — a calm yet commanding century (110 off 115 balls) — perfectly supported by Kumar Sangakkara’s elegant 70 (62). Together, they set up a daunting total of 299/8, the highest of the tournament. Despite Virender Sehwag’s fiery start and a few sparks from MS Dhoni (67) and Suresh Raina, India faltered under the Dambulla lights. Thisara Perera and Suraj Randiv kept striking at crucial moments, while Nuwan Kulasekara’s early burst ensured that India’s chase never truly took off. Controversial umpiring decisions, manic appeals, and moments of brilliance from both sides made this final unforgettable — but in the end, it was Sri Lanka’s night. Dilshan was deservedly named Man of the Match, as the hosts sealed a resounding win to lift the trophy. 📊 Match Summary 🏟️ Venue: Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium 🪙 Toss: Sri Lanka won and batted first 🏏 Sri Lanka: 299/8 (50 overs) – Dilshan 110, Sangakkara 70, Munaf Patel 2/44 🏏 India: 225 all out (46.5 overs) – Dhoni 67, Sehwag 28, Perera 3/36 🏆 Result: Sri Lanka won by 74 runs 🏅 Player of the Match: Tillakaratne Dilshan 🔥 Key Moments 🏏 Dilshan & Jayawardene add 121 for the 1st wicket — a flawless start 💯 Tillakaratne Dilshan reaches his century with pure class and control 🎯 Kumar Sangakkara’s quickfire 70 keeps the scoreboard racing ⚡ Munaf Patel’s late strikes restrict Sri Lanka below 300 🔥 Virender Sehwag’s electric start ends in chaos — run out after a missed lbw call 🤯 Controversial umpiring decisions frustrate India’s chase 💪 Thisara Perera and Suraj Randiv dismantle India’s middle order 🏆 Sri Lanka lift the trophy — breaking their big-match losing streak at home #
