For the first time in the Australian summers this season, Indian team has exhibited confidence abundantly which was evident from their last outing against Australia in Perth ODI on Sunday. Captain MS Dhoni`s gave a fitting finishing touch to a sparkling fielding and bowling performance to register India`s second consecutive win of the CB series in a humdinger.
The team will be looking to carry the momentum on Tuesday as well when they meet Sri Lanka in Adelaide. Lankan team managed to push their opponents on the edge but failed to walk the final mile. They will have to produce their best when they face rejuvenated India, firing all cylinders to register their first win of the tri-series.
