India lose 8th ODI to Sri Lanka by 51 runs

India plummeted to their second successive defeat in the Commonwealth Bank ODI series Down Under as Nuwan Kulasekara celebrates taking the wicket of Sachin Tendulkara casual effort saw them lose to Sri Lanka by 51 runs in Brisbane.  The result means India must not only win both their remaining matches, but they will also be dependent on the other results to secure their spot in the best-of-three final.

The loss seemed inevitable after India lost their top three batsmen with just 54 runs on the board while chasing a target of 290 set by the Sri Lanka. Two of those wickets went to man-of-the-match Nuwan Kulasekara who benefitted from sticking to the basics of good line and length.
