Pitch Report and Pre - Match Presentation
Second ODI: India vs Sri Lanka, Kolkata

Both the teams have reached Kolkata and are all set for the 2nd ODI. The teams did not get much time for practice, but they are all prepared. One bad news for Sri Lanka is that Malinga won't be a part of the team for this tournament. The Indian batsmen can now relax! We might just see one or two changes in the Indian side as well.
We could see Suresh Raina in the team replacing either Ravindra Jadeja or the out of form Yuvraj Singh.​

Pitch Report with Ravi Shastri

"Finally, I am back at the Eden Gardens, the place I love. The madness never seems to end here. This pitch has always been amazing. Even bounce, good carry and helps the bowlers. A bit flat as well which might just mean that the batsmen could have an edge over the seamers. Spinners can do wonders here if utilised in a correct manner by the captains. It would suggest that on winning, one must elect to bat first, put a good score on the board and get the opposition under pressure."

"Who doesn't like to be back at his home town? Well, I do. And that's the story today. I am back in Kolkata, the city of wonders, and of course, my home town. Coming to cricket, its a hot sunny day today. The chances of rain seem pretty low. That's certainly a good news for everyone out there. I just spoke with the curator and he said that pitch has been made to suit batsmen who like the ball to come quick and with good bounce. I really don't know whether to be happy or upset at that. All we can hope is that we see a good match, with no interruptions. The match will be starting soon. Stay tuned."

First Inning ; Sri Lanka Batting
Second ODI: India vs Sri Lanka, Kolkata

Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat first, a right decision made if the pitch report is considered. Dilshan and Tharanga come out the face the new ball. The pace attack of India looked pretty solid in the first match at Rajkot and India would be hoping that Zaheer and Co. continue their good form. The first over will be bowled by Zaheer Khan from the pavillion end. The sun is very bright today and looks like a perfect day for crikcet. So here goes Zaheer bowling the first deliver to Dilshan. A swing and a miss but the Indian skipper MS Dhoni appeals for it. The umpire turns down the "ridiculous" appeal. Dilshan plays it sensible the next delivery, taking a single and giving the strike to Upal Tharanga. The young Tharanga couldn't even trouble the scores as he departs on the last delivery of the first over, getting trapped by Zaheer Khan for a LBW. What a start for team India. The score now is 1 run for 1 wicket after 1 over.

In comes the skipper Kumar Sangakkara to join his deputy, Tillakaratne Dilshan. Both of these batsmen looked quite good in the previous match. Dilshan had scored 45 odd runs whereas Sangakkara just hanged out and played the game sensibly. He needs to do the same here as Sri Lanka has lost Tharanga for a duck. Sangakkara and Dilshan are looking in top form. They both are playing at a strike of more than 100 and have reached 60 odd runs each. After 20 overs, Sri Lanka are on 124 with the loss of just one wicket. A good fight back from the Lankans. The next over, the pair add 15 more runs to the scoreboard. Just as it was looking Sangakkara and Dilshan partnership might just touch 150, the skipper departed after scoring a well deserved 73 which included ten boundaries. Dilshan is still at the crease and the score after Sangakkara's departure is 140 for the loss of 2 wickets.

One has to agree that Sri Lanka currently has the most stable batting line up. Sangakkara departs and in comes one of the most reliable Sri Lankan players of all time, Mahela Jaywardene. But this time, Mahela fails to show his magic as he gives a catch to Virender Sehwag of Harbhajan Singh. Jayawardene could score only a run in four deliveries and suddenly it seems that the Indians are back in the game. But, they still know that Dilshan's wicket is very crucial. Its 147 for 3 in just 23 overs.

Samarweera comes to join in Tillakaratne Dilshan who is playing a masterful innings. Dilshan is looking extremely positive in his approach and is certainly in for a chance of a century. On the other hand, Samarweera begins his inning on a quite note. Seems like he is getting set to play a long inning here. MS Dhoni showered the pair with all the possible spinners he could. He used Ojha, Harbhajan, Sehwag and even Sachin, but none could do the trick. Dilshan and Samarweera were looking rock solid and determined. Dilshan strikes a brilliant four to Harbhajan Singh on his 99 to complete his well deserved century. Dilshan scores it in just 90 odd deliveries, what a player he is! Samarweera also decides to accelerate the innings. He was on 12 off 31 when Dilshan reached his century. Suddenly, Dilshan and Samarweera decided to take the charge on the bowlers. Both started playing aggressively, thrashing the Indian bowlers all round the park. 41.4 overs were bowled when Samarweera took a quick double to complete his 50. A slow start and a well planned innings pays off. No sooner after around 47 overs, Dilshan reached his 150 by striking two consecutive boundaries of Pragyan Ojha. Just the next over, Samarweera departs on 70 odd runs. He has done his job quite well. The team has crossed the 300 run mark with four overs to spare. Dilshan is still there on 150 as the scoreboard reads 306 for 4 after 47 overs.

Angelo Mathews arrives at the crease. As all would expect, at such a stage of the inning, he would just strike the ball as hard he can. Dilshan had begun looking a bit uncomfortable, suffering from a few cramps, but Mathews continued the flow of runs from his side. Many misfields and overthrows helped Sri Lanka to score 7 runs in the 48th Over. Just two over remained. Mathews strikes a boundary and takes a single to get Dilshan back on strike. Dilshan smashes two consecutives deliveries from Zaheer Khan to boundaries. Just the next ball, Zaheer traps Dilshan in for a LBW. At first thought, nobody thought it would be out but the umpire raised his finger and Dilshan had to depart. Dilshan played an amazing inning, one of the bests in ODIs. This was even his personal best, beating his previous one by just a run. Dilshan departs on a well made and well deserved 161 and helps Sri Lanka score a huge total of 320 +.

Chamara Kapugedara is in with Mathews. Just 6 balls remaining, Mathews manages to find the gaps and strikes 2 boundaries in the first four deliveries. He then takes a single of the 5th delivery to bring Kapugedara on strile. Kapugedara strikes a boundary on the only ball he faced in the innings and Sri Lanka finish at a huge total of 339 in 50 overs with a RR of 6.86. The entire credits goes to Tillakaratne Dilshan, the genius.

Team India now needs to score 340 runs in the alloted 50 overs. Its not an impossible task with the likes of Sachin, Sehwag, Dhoni and Gamhir in the side. Lets see how the Indians react to such a situation.

That's some nice writing mate but I wouldn't bother posting the ball by ball updates. I can absolutely guarantee no one will ever actually read them right through...
Only a poor effort could see Sri Lanka lose here. Brilliant innings from Dilshan, nice prediction from legend_viral! ;)
 
Use quote instead of code for the scorecards. They're messed up it seems.

Are you serious?
The scorecards would be messed up if used the QUOTE tags.

The cricsim generated scorecards work well only with the CODE tags friend.
