#4 Chaminda Vaas annihilates India in 2000

The ODI that is best remembered for Sanath Jayasuriya's master class innings of 189 also witnessed one of the finest displays of pace bowling.
In the final of the Champions Trophy at Sharjah in 2000, Jayasuriya destroyed India with his sensational batting. The left-hand batsman tore apart Indian bowlers by slamming 189 runs off just 161 balls and set India a target of 300 runs.
Indian batsmen, who were shell-shocked by Jayasuriya's carnage, were once again tormented by Chaminda Vaas. The pace bowler first sent back India's captain Sourav Ganguly in the third over and in the next over, accounted for Sachin Tendulkar as well.
Yuuraj Singh and Vinod Kambli followed suit and soon India were tottering at four down for 19 runs. Vaas was called back in the middle overs and he responded effectively by finding Zaheer Khan's edge. The Sri Lankan pacer claimed five wickets to annihilate India who were all-out for mere 54 runs, their lowest-ever ODI total.
