Zaheer blasts through as India hit back: IDEA Cup 2nd ODI (2 of 2)

Left armer Zaheer Khan used the significant lateral movement on offerwith the new ball and took four wickets during an opening spell whichhelped bundle out Sri Lanka for 142.

A target of 143 should have been acakewalk for India on paper but the loss of early wickets and quickstrikes by Thilan Thushara yet again exposed the frailties of theirinexperienced batting lineup.

Mendis asked some searching questionsbefore Dhoni and debutant Badrinath took India to a narrow 3 wicketwin.
