Sri Lanka eased their way to victory over India in Harare today, claiming payback for their earlier defeat in the tournament and in doing so ensuring that Sri Lanka will meet Zimbabwe in the tri-series final on Wednesday. India posted a respectable-looking 268/9 from their 50 overs, led by Virat Kohli's 68, but some poor bowling and a confident 111 from Dinesh Chandimal made sure that the Sri Lankan's came out on top this time around.
Before the final, Zim and Sri Lanka will also meet in the final group stage match of the series, on Monday - a dead rubber as far as this tourney is concerned, but still a ranking match and with Zimbabwe's recent record against Sri Lanka not being great, it'll be a chance for the home side to get a good handle on what they'll be up against. Here's hoping they don't waste the opportunity.
India 268/9 (50 overs; Kohli 68, Thushara 3/57), Sri Lanka 270/4 (48.2 overs; Chandimal 111, Ashwin 2/50). Sri Lanka win by 6 wickets.
