#3 MS Dhoni - India vs Sri Lanka: West Indies Tri-Nation series Final 2013, Port-of-Spain

MS Dhoni hit 6, 4 and 6 in the last over to finish off yet another tense run chase for India against Sri Lanka

Brief Scores: India 203/9 in 49.4 overs (Rohit 58, Dhoni 45*; Herath 4/20) beat Sri Lanka 201 in 48.5 overs (Sangakkara 71, Thirimanne 46; Jadeja 4/23) by 1 wicket

Hosts West Indies could not make it to the final of the tri-series also involving India and Sri Lanka, with the decider going down to the wire. A stand of 121 between Kumar Sangakkara and Lahiru Thirimanne took Sri Lanka to 171/2, but Ravi Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Ishant Sharma combined to strike one after the other, with Thirimanne's wicket for 46 starting a collapse. Sangakkara made 71 and Sri Lanka folded up for 201 after Jadeja's 4/23.

During the chase, India themselves fell apart after Rohit Sharma's half-century. Dinesh Karthik and Suresh Raina gave away starts, and India stared at defeat when a comfortable 139/3 became 182/9 with Rangana Herath being the wrecker-in-chief. Amidst all this, captain MS Dhoni, returning to the side after an injury in the series opener, was firm at one end. India needed 20 from 22 with one wicket remaining, which soon became 15 from 6.

Dhoni missed the first ball but sent the others for 6, 4 and 6 to astonish Sri Lankan fans and finish off yet another tense chase for India, remaining unbeaten on 45.
