India batted first and were powered by Sourav Ganguly’s maiden ODI century — a superb, controlled knock. But despite reaching 212/4, India collapsed dramatically, losing 6 wickets for just 26 runs, undone by Sri Lankan spin. During this spell, Muttiah Muralitharan reached a major milestone, becoming only the second Sri Lankan bowler (after Sanath Jayasuriya) to take 100 ODI wickets. Chasing 239, Sri Lanka were ruthless. Sanath Jayasuriya smashed a rapid 66 off 56 balls, setting the platform. Roshan Mahanama and Aravinda de Silva followed with fluent half-centuries, guiding Sri Lanka home comfortably in the 42nd over. 📍 Match: India vs Sri Lanka, Colombo, Aug 20, 1997 🏆 Result: Sri Lanka won by 7 wickets ⭐ Man of the Match: Sanath Jayasuriya 🎯 Milestone: Muralitharan reaches 100 ODI wickets #indiavspakistan #cricketmax #highlights #thriller #india
