India beat Sri Lanka in the crucial do or die match and enter the final. They will play Sri Lanka again. Pakistan's chance to enter final is no more a reality and hence their match against Bangladesh is mere a play for pride game.
Chasing a target of 309, the start was good with Gambhir and Sehwag adding 92 for the first wicket in 11.4 overs. Raina scored 54, while skipper Dhoni lead from the front. He scored 67 off 78 balls with 5 fours and a six. Dhoni and Raina added 99 for the 3rd wicket in 92 balls.
This win will be a morale booster before the final against the same team.
