India in Srilanka, 2008/09
Sri Lanka v India 3rd ODI, Colombo, February 3, 2009
02-Feb-2009 16:50:00 IST

Colombo: MS Dhoni's men have been on target in the first two matches but the Indian captain would be taking no chance under floodlights after India just about managed a close 15-run win in a nail-biting day-night affair at the Premadasa Stadium on Saturday.

Dhoni, who has led the team to seven successive ODI wins, has warned his teammates against dropping their guards before the series was claimed.

A few chinks were seen in the Indian amour in the second match when bowlers looked confused in the powerplay overs and Dhoni wants a more disciplined show by his bowlers.

The batting has also not fired but to be fair, the Indians have been hit hard by a few dubious umpiring decisions. But the top order batsmen have to get into the act quickly if they hope to clinch the series on Tuesday itself. Sachin Tendulkar in both match out as a wrong decision, while Yuvraj Singh also given leg-before wrong decision.
