Guided by a marvelous game show by Sachin Tendulkar and Harbhajan Singh, Team India defeated sri Lanka by 46-runs in the tri-series final to lift the Compaq Cup . Chasing an improbable total of 319/5 set by India, Sri Lanka were bowled out for 273 in 46.4 overs.
Tendulkar scored a phenomenal innings of 138 runs (133 balls) before being wrong footed while trying a reverse sweep of Lanka’s mystery spinner Ajantha Mendis. Tendulkar hit Mendis out of the park for a huge six before being dismissed.
The Indian turbanator Harbhajan Singh was mixing up everything he could do with his deliveries and was successful in getting 5 wickets with eco. rate of 5.4 .
The most shocking event of the match , though benifitial for India was the dismissal of Sangakara . As he was facing a full toss bowl from R.P. Singh , bat slipped from his hands and hit the stumps. Sangakara at that instant could not realised that he had just gifted his wicket to the opponents in such a crucial match in a critical situation.
Well Sangakara's gift was a moment of joy for Indians.
At last We Won!!!!!! yes, We Won The Compaq Cup '09
