Chaminda Vaas celebrates a wicket

The Asian tigers, Sri Lanka, have always been a tough competitor to the Indian side.

The Lankans, after winning the toss, chose to bat first and posted a mammoth total of 299 on the board. Captain Sanath Jayasuriya, after scoring his highest individual score of 189, broke many records.

The Indian side was under pressure to chase down a target of 300. The skipper of the Indian side, Sourav Ganguly fell in the third over to Vaas.

Following the path of the captain, Tendulkar got out in the next over that Vaas bowled. With all the arsenal needed for being a great bowler in his bag, Vaas wreaked havoc on the Indian batting line-up, taking 5 wickets. He sliced through Ganguly, Sachin and rest of the Indian lineup with ease.

Vaas did heavy damage to the Indian side, who were already crushed by Jayasuriya's 189. India could post only 54 runs, which is also one of the lowest score in ODI's.

Chaminda Vaas' figures of 5/14 was his personal best at that time.
