Dhoni needs 42 runs to complete his 6000 ODI runs while Gautam Gambhir is 24 runs short of his 4000 mark in ODI cricket. Another innings of 81 runs from Virat Kohli’s bat will enable him to reach his 2000 mark in ODI cricket.

Furthermore, Tendulkar will participate in his last World Cup match and interestingly, both players are Master of the Game, as Tendulkar is the highest run-scorer in ODIs with 18093 runs and Muralitharan is the highest wicket-taker in ODIs with 534 scalps. It will definitely be a farewell to cherish.
DDA Flats DRAW
The Indian team is playing this game with a tag of favourites due to their home advantage whereas the Sri Lankan Lions are looking to not repeat the history of the 2007 World Cup final where they lost to Australia. Both teams are evenly matched, but Sri Lanka has a slight edge over India in the bowling department. No prediction, anyone can win this game, however, the team with stronger nerves will have better chances in the all-important final clash of the ICC World Cup 2011.
Sri Lanka has WON the Toss and Elected to Bat First.
Gambhir holds firm for India, Dhoni is in
Tillakaratne Dilshan broke the 83-run fourth-wicket stand between Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli when he had Kohli caught and bowled for 35.
Dilshan brought an end to a partnership that threatened to take the game away from Sri Lanka as the men in blue move forward in pursuit of 275 for World Cup glory.
This was after Gautam Gambhir rustled up a determined 25th one-day international half-century, bringing up his fifty with a single off Muttiah Muralitharan off 56 balls, studded with six hits to the fence.
Gambhir is joined by captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni at the wicket.
Gambhir and Kohli repaired the Indian innings after Lasith Malinga dislodged Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar early to put Sri Lanka in a strong position.
The pair did not take any undue risks, and kept the scoreboard ticking over with some sensible batting - raising a half-century stand - a much required one for India after the early slump.
Gambhir launched his innings on a confident note, whipping Malinga to the square-leg boundary. He twice stepped out to Thisara Perera and clobbered him for two boundaries to give impetus to the innings.
Kohli took his time to get his eye in and gave the Wankhede crowd something to rejoice about when he flicked one to the on-side for a morale-boosting boundary.
Earlier, Malinga dealt a big blow in the first over when he pinned Virender Sehwag lbw for a duck.
The Sri Lankan speed merchant then claimed the prized wicket of Sachin Tendulkar to put the men in blue in a spot of bother. Tendulkar pushed at an away going delivery and was pouched by wicketkeeper Kumar Sangakkara for 18.
The maestro promised much, middling the ball from ball one. He picked two boundaries of Nuwan Kulasekera in the fourth over – a straight drive was a treat and he followed it up with a scorching cut past the point.
Earlier, Sri Lanka rode on a fighting unbeaten century by Mahela Jayawardene to post a score of 274 for 6 in its allotted 50 overs.
Brief Scores: Sri Lanka 274 for 6 (Mahela Jayawardene 103*, Kumar Sangakkara 48, Tillakaratne Dilshan 33, Nuwan Kulasekara 32; Yuvraj Singh 2 for 49, Zaheer Khan 2 for 60) vs India 124 for 3 in 25 overs (Gautam Gambhir 60*, Virat Kohli 35; Lasith Malinga 2 for 11).
