Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, on August 25, 1999, in a day-night Aiwa Cup encounter. India, who had won the toss, suffered a dramatic batting collapse. The memories of Taunton—where Ganguly and Dravid piled on 328 runs—were quickly erased as the pair managed just 31 between them this time. India’s innings was marked by confusion and poor running between the wickets, with four batsmen run out. Sachin Tendulkar endured a strange innings: he survived an early run-out chance, was dropped, but eventually fell for 37 as one of the four run-outs. Ajay Jadeja was the only Indian batsman to offer some resistance, coming close to a half-century, before India slumped from a promising 155 for 3 to a disappointing total. Sri Lanka’s reply was led by an aggressive opening stand. Sanath Jayasuriya attacked from the outset, racing to 61 off 62 balls with eight boundaries in an 83-run first-wicket partnership. His new opening partner, Marvan Atapattu, played the anchor role with a composed innings, ensuring there were no further hiccups. Atapattu remained unbeaten as Sri Lanka comfortably chased down the target in the 47th over, sealing a dominant win and restoring pride after their World Cup disappointment. 🏆 Man of the Match: Marvan Atapattu 📍 Venue: R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo 📅 Date: August 25, 1999 (Day/Night) 🏏 Tournament: Aiwa Cup 📊 Result: Sri Lanka won by 7 wickets A match remembered for India’s run-out woes and Sri Lanka’s calm, methodical chase. #indvssl #cricket #highlights #thriller #cricketmax #india
