Gambhir, Raina fire India to victory

Gautam Gambhir cracked a century and Suresh Raina smashed a brisk 65 not out to power India to a thrilling five-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the third one-day international in Colombo. Opener Gambhir hit an impressive 102 for his 11th one-day hundred and Raina hammered one six and six fours in his 45-ball knock as India achieved a stiff 287-run target with two balls to spare for a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. India needed six runs to win in the last over, bowled by seamer Angelo Mathews, with Irfan Pathan (34 not out) completing victory with a boundary off the fourth delivery in the day-night match. Man-of-the-match Raina and Pathan added 92 off 11.1 overs. "Gautam did really well and we needed one of the top three to put in a performance like this," India skipper MS Dhoni said.
