#2 vs Sri Lanka, 2003 - 183 runs

India enjoyed a stellar time at the 2003 World Cup as they managed to go all the way to the final, where they came up short against a fierce Australian side.

On their way to the final, India humbled many opponents as they made a name for themselves by scoring a great number of runs. India's potent batting unit was on song in their group stage clash against Sri Lanka as they scored a total of 292 runs against a solid Sri Lankan bowling attack.

Sachin Tendulkar anchored the Indian innings as he played a brilliant inning of 97 and was unlucky to have missed out on a well-deserved century. Nonetheless, Sri Lanka were asked to chase the total and in response, they crumbled to the Indian pace attack comprising Javagal Srinath, Ashish Nehra and Zaheer Khan.

The Lankan Lions were bowled out for a meagre total of 109 as India won the match by 183 runs.
