It's been a good recovery from Sri Lanka.
193 for 5 in 39.
India's fielding had been very poor.it would be good to see them hit a bit of poor form before the Semi Finals!

Mathews 100.
They could get 270+ which would make it interesting although you assume India should get that.

Begs the question - again - as to how we failed to chase down 232 against that Sri Lankan attack.
Still, probably made no difference in the end.......
