Tharanga on high as Sri Lanka hammer India

KINGSTON, Jamaica, July 3: Upul Tharanga plundered the highest individual score in a one-day international in the Caribbean as Sri Lanka steamrollered India by 161 runs in the third match of the Tri-Series at Sabina Park on Tuesday.



Replying to Sri Lanka´s mammoth 348 for one in their 50 overs, in which Tharanga made an unbeaten 174 and Mahela Jayawardene 107, World Cup and Champions Trophy holders India were dismissed for just 187 in the 45th over.[break]



"It was a bad day at the office," admitted India´s stand-in captain Virat Kohli. "We took some time to switch on in the field and by then the Sri Lankans were off and away, and even when we batted I don´t think we applied ourselves as well as we should have."
