The India vs Sri Lanka clash being broadcast live today on Ten Sports has seen one of the worst batting performance by the Indians in the recent years.

The disaster for India started with Virender Sehwag and Dinesh Karthik getting off to a jittery star. After the two openers fell, it was a matter of time that the inexperienced middle order was exposed and crushed by the Sri Lankans. maintaining a strict off stump line and a controlled swing Nuwan Kulasekara and Lasith Malinga proved that the Sri Lankan pace attack still has the same sting as the days of Chaminda Vaas. They not only made the Indian batsmen struggle but also ensure that the ruin rate is kept under tab.

To watch the Sri Lankan reply to the paltry Indian total of 103, fans can tune into Ten Sports which is broadcasting the cricket match live. In spite of Mahela Jayawardene and Tilekaratne Dilshan falling prey to Ishant Sharma quite early on the in the innings the openers ensured that the damage is done.
