India storm bonus-point win ODI

India has won a seven-foot victory over Sri Lanka in Hobart on Tuesday, winning the bonus point they needed to stay in the fight for a place in the final TRI Series one day.

Champions of the World Cup in Sri Lanka easily chased 320 for four, scoring 321 for three in 36.4 overs with only man-of-the-match Virat Kohli hit an unbeaten 86 133 balls.

The victory of India believes that Sri Lanka join together on 15 points, second place in the tri-series table, but Sri Lanka can still play out of the tournament by winning their last game against the leaders of Australia, Melbourne on Friday.

Australia are already in the final stage of the game to the best of three, which will launch in Brisbane on Sunday.

Sri Lanka seemed to be in the box, after centuries of Tillakaratne Dilshan, who equaled his best one day score of 160, and Kumar Sangakkara 105.

But India, versus having to reach your goal was just 40 overs to catch the bonus point, made ​​it easy, saying the extra point with 20 balls to spare as Kohli and Suresh Raina (40 not out) flayed the demoralization of Sri Lankan bowling attack.

Gautam Gambhir contributed 63 off 64 balls after openers Virender Sehwag (30 from 16 balls) and Sachin Tendulkar (39 from 30 balls) gave India a good start.

Match scores: Sri Lanka, 320, 4 (50 overs), India 321 for 3 (36.4 overs).
