Sri Lanka managed to defeat India in a close encounter by 5 runs in the 2nd ODI at Rajkot. Sri Lanka now lead the 4 match series 1-0.
India were once sailing comfortably and were looking to chase down the target set by the Lankans quite easily but they collapsed towards the end.
Sehwag failed once again for Team India. Half centuries were scored by both Sachin and Sourav. Sachin looked in blistering form and was destroying the Lankan bowling attack until he got stumped off the bowling of Bandara.

The Indian mind was wandering at Raj kot....as simple as that...they didnt get the focus right to give the knock out punch to the lankans after keeping them down and out for the major period..pathetic
