India made three
changes to their playing eleven – Robin Uthappa, Suresh Raina and Sreesanth
made way for Sachin Tendulkar, Irfan Pathan and Ramesh Powar. Sri Lanka made
five Chan(dana)ges to the (Russ)eleven that last played the Indians – Thilan
Samaraweera, Marvan Atapattu, Arnold, Dilhara Lokuhettige and Upul made way for
Sanath Jayasuriya, Chamara Kapugedera, Farveez Maharoof, Muttiah Muralitharan
and Lasith Malinga.
On winning the toss, Rahul Dravid, India’s skipper, chose to bat. Dravid, whose 19-ball innings included a couple of boundaries, scored nine. He was unbeaten, as was Tendulkar, who faced three balls, scoring a couple.
India scored 11 without the loss of a wicket off 3.4 overs. Chaminda Vaas bowled two wicketless overs, including a maiden. He conceded four. Malinga, who bowled 1.4 overs, had no reason to be in seventh heaven – he was wicketless.
At that point, bad light and rain interrupted play.
The reserve day (August 19, 2006) was used.
The match ended without a result.
The three-match series was levelled 0-0.
