India rout Sri Lanka once more sending an ominous warning to the rest in the World Cup. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE.  (eLanka Sports editor). India sent tremors through the World Cup with another demolition of a completely out of tune Sri Lanka and duck season would best describe the Islanders pathetic run chase at Wankhede stadium. If there were doubts about the one sided Asia Cup final, India dispelled all of them as their bowlers ran riot to give them five more runs, 50 all out in the Asia Cup, and 55 all out here and a 302 run win.

India rub salt in the wounds of hopeless Sri Lanka with world record one day drubbing. – By TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill and skipper Rohit Sharma sounded Sri Lanka’s death knell when they decimated a toothless bowling attack to seal an emphatic 3-0 series win in the one-day series sending the Islanders home with bitter memories of a tour that sent shudders through them. Kohli in full stride is a nightmare to most teams in the world, and his dominant presence will leave the Sri Lanka bowlers with years of trauma that will take a while to recover from.  The trio helped India run up an insurmountable 390 for 5 which effectively demoralised and derailed any dreams of a Sri Lanka upset in the dead rubber.   Kohil’s merciless onslaught on the hapless Sri Lanka attack saw him smash 166 not out off only 110 balls ...
