Dhoni walks away with a stump in hand, hugs Kirsten, who has now entered the arena, before being congratulated by the other members of the squad.

Hang on for the quotes from the post-match ceremony.

Mahela: We shouldn't take anything from India. After winning the toss, they put the runs on board. We made few errors on the way. The spinners are getting more turn in the end of the innings. But even today, after losing wickets, we were 40 runs away. You need to put in more disciplined effort while chasing. Jayasuriya gave us a good start but we didn't back it up. Thushara has done very well with the ball and the bat.

Dhoni: It was a good toss to win. It does a bit under the lights and later spinners get help. Zaheer bowled well, Praveen was ok and Munaf was there. We are a good fielding side and that is a plus point. Suresh [Raina] played well; it was disappointing that we both got out together and we couldn't get runs in the end. I had fever yesterday and hence I was struggling in the end.

Man of the Match Suresh Raina: "I enjoyed batting with Dhoni. We put lots of pressure on them. The wicket was turning and Harbhajan bowled very well. I did a good job here. Really happy for the team; we are going home with the Cup.

Vaas gets a award for taking 400 ODI wickets.

That's it from us. Thanks for logging on. Good bye and good luck!

Manoj: "Things would have been very different had SL won the toss.... But still a laudable effort!"

MK49: "Beating Sri Lanka in SL must be a lovely feeling - just a shade less special than beating OZ in OZ. Go Dhoni!" If they do go on to win, as they should from here, this would be the first time India would have beaten Sri Lanka in a bilateral series in Sri Lanka
