Dropped catch at the crucial juncture too cost India the match. Sri Lankans were on the roll and were 104/4 in 16 over. They needed 27 more for win. Rahane dropped Perera on 4th ball of the 17th over. Had he held on to the catch, match could have gone the other way. He went on to hit a six on 5th ball of the 18th over to give Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene a dream farewell from the shortest format of the game.
