''I think ours was a decent total. Had it been a 29-overs-a-side game, things would have been different," a dejected Dhoni said after the match. "Besides, Sri Lanka got off to a great start. Both Sanath (Jayasuriya) and (Tillakaratne) Dilshan were just amazing. By the time we removed Jayasuriya, they were almost 50 in the fifth over," he said.

"It was a crucial game for us and we showed character. Winning the toss was an advantage and even though they batted really well, we planned the chase brilliantly," Jayawardene said.
