The pitch in Ranchi is quite suitable for batsmen. The Sri Lankan opening pair should show some patience to stick down in the track, and they should thus build a good platform for the middle order.
Mahela Jayawardene is the only batsman in form, and the whole Sri Lankan team solely trusts on this top general veteran.
On the other hand, Indian team is capable to chase even the most mammoth total, and their batting line up is undoubtedly the worst nightmare for any bowling side.
All the top order batsmen, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli are in top form, and they have proved their mettle an umpteen numbers of times in this series.
A loss in the 5th ODI will shatter the morale of the Sri Lankan side very badly, and they will surely show their maximum fighting spirit to prove their caliber.
