India pulled off a sensational victory over Sri Lanka in the last league match of the tri-nation series at the Queen's Park oval on Tuesday. India won the match by 81 runs (D/L method).

With this victory, India will face Sri Lanka in the finals, on Thursday, eliminating West Indies in the process. Bhuvnesh Kumar took four wickets to rattle the Sri Lankan top order.

Earlier, Sri Lanka need to chase a revised target of 178 runs from 26 overs to win after the Indian innings was disrupted by rain.

India could bat for only 29 overs and score 119/3. Rohit Sharma (48 not out) and Suresh Raina (4 not out) were at the crease when rain arrived.

The target has been revised by D/L method. (Source: The Hindu)

We will win.

Is it forgone conclusion or wishful thinking?

Neither, the team that wins on the day wins. Funny?
