1st ODI India vs Sri Lanka live

January 27th, 2009

Mendis, Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni
said on Monday his team
is not wary of playing him.

Addressing the media here on the upcoming five One-Day International series against Sri Lanka beginning on Wednesday in Dambulla, the Indian skipper, however, said it is always “tough to beat Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka”.

Asked how his team was going to face Mendis, who ran though their batting order in the Test series here last year, Dhoni said they had a measure of the spinner during the subsequent ODI series, which India won.

In that case, India will get 123 rating points, equal to that of South Africa but three less than Australia (126), calculated after Monday’s fourth ODI between the Proteas and Ricky Ponting’s men.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s team would then get the chance to go to the top of the rankings before long if all results against the Lankans go their way and they make a winning start to their series against New Zealand early in March.

But if India lose 0-5 to the Lankans they would slip below New Zealand (113) into fifth position. Such a result would catapult Sri Lanka (107) to third spot.

Irrespective of India vs Sri Lanka result, South Africa will go to top of the table if they win the fifth and final match of the ongoing series against Australia in Perth on Friday.
