Some of the intresting highlights between India Vs Sri Lanka ~ Cricket India

Both these teams had a chance to win a World Cup in the 21st century but failed against the might of a marauding Australian batsman. In 2003, Ricky Ponting plundered a century of breathtaking aggressiveness, leaving my common room in college - and common rooms everywhere in India - shell shocked. In 2007, Adam Gilchrist, with squash ball in batting glove, blitzed Sri Lanka with a century more devastating than Ponting's.
India has played Sri Lanka 33 times since 2008, winning 18 and losing 13.
Five of those 33 games were played in India, with a 3-1 record favoring the home team.
In all games played between the two sides since 2000, India leads 11-3.
Of these 14 games, 11 have been won by the team chasing.
Of India's 11 wins, nine have come chasing a target against what is being touted as the best defensive bowling and fielding outfit in the business.
However, in World Cup match ups and finals of big tournaments between the two sides Sri Lanka has won 7 and lost 2 to India.
In these nine games that ended in results, 7 times the team batting first has won.
In World Cup matches alone, the team batting first has won the last four encounters between these two sides.
