2000, India versus Sri Lanka, Coca-Cola Champions Trophy Final Tournament: Coca Cola Champions Trophy
Venue: Sharjah, UAE
The 2000 Coca-Cola Champions Trophy final between India and Sri Lanka turned to be an out and out one sided affair. Sri Lanka, riding high on Matara Mauler Sanath Jayasuriya's entertaining 189 set up a stiff target of 300.
India chasing under lights folded up in just 54 runs, one of the lowest ever in the history of one day cricket. It was one of those off days for Team India when they were outnumbered in all three departments of the game – batting, bowling and fielding. The Indian batting line up studded with seasoned performers like Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Yuvraj Singh & Vinod Kambli appeared to take center stage for a while only to be dismissed cheaply.
