This confirms that India are through to the final and will meet Sri Lanka. Their final game with Bangladesh tomorrow is just a dead rubber.
We witnessed yet another comprehensive thrashing by the team chasing. The bowlers, particularly Zaheer Khan, and the fielders set it up for India. A target of 214 was made to look like a walkover by Gambhir, Karthik and Kohli. Karthik will be pleased with the shots he played tonight, getting his timing right. Kohli batted like a man in form and made the bowling look ordinary.
Wijekoon: "Unless Sanga wanted to test the bowlers in such conditions as these, it is truly amazing he decides to bat first after winning the toss. It makes no sense at all. He even complained how he wouldn't let his bowlers experience such conditions. His arguments now look flimsy."
Stay with us for the presentation.
Sangakkara: "I don't think we learnt much from batting first. We always looked to score runs. We tried not to get too far ahead of ourselves. We know we're far better than this."
Dhoni: "This was the best fielding performance in the last 12 months. Tyagi and Zaheer bowled decently, Mishra too. He varied his pace well. Dinesh began superbly well. Virat has been very consistent."
Zaheer Khan is the Man of the Match: "I just stuck to the basics. The plan with Dilshan was to put two fielders on the deep on the on side and cramp him for room. This was a good confidence booster for me. Hope MS wins the toss in the final."
That's it from us here. Join us tomorrow for India v Bangladesh, the final league game, which is a dead rubber. Thanks for your company. It's goodbye.
