India won a thriller against hosts Sri Lanka to gain entry into the final of Asia Cup. In a match of pulsating fortunes, Indians kept their nerves and emerged victorious despite tremendous onslaught by Sanath Jayasuriya.

India have now successfully defended their total on six occasions in a match stretched up to the last ball. India's victory by 4 runs is also one of their narrowest in terms of margins of runs. The details:
