If India win this series 4-1 or 5-0 they will be no. 1 in ODI rankings and if Sri Lanka win this series 4-1 or 5-0 they will move to 4th place and India will slip to 5th

Sri Lanka favourite for me here; it's their backyard and also the fact they are coming off finishing a good series against Pak. On the other hand India didn't play enough cricket recently to get into the groove of things

Yet another India-SL series eh.. then again it's not as bad as some other times since this is a perfect opportunity to get the combinations right for the WC in two months time.

I REALLY hope Irfan Pathan gets it together, I think his batting has developed to the point where he can be relied to finish games off, but his bowling needs a lot more consistency.

Looking forward to seeing Rahane and Tiwary play as well.

Good to see Pathan doing well...badly need him to come back to form. PK and Vinay cant keep up with their fitness.

This is Kohli's third consecutive ODI hundred against SL, isn't it? I wonder what the record is against a particular country.
