- SR Tendulkar's 50 in 62 balls (4x4,1x6)
- SC Ganguly's 50 in 56 balls (3x4, 2x6)
- SR Tendulkar's 100 in 135 balls (7x4,2x6)
- At the start of the innings, Sri Lanka were set a target of
270 from 50 overs to reach the final on a superior net run
rate
- Rain interrupted play at 2:45pm to 3:35pm with Sri Lanka on
22/0 after 5 overs. The Sri Lanka target to win was revised
to 263 runs from 40 overs, with 12 overs of fielding
restrictions and a maximum of 8 overs per bowler. According
to clause 11.2 in the One Day International Playing
Conditions this should have prevented India from qualifying
for the final ("Only those matches where results were
achieved and where the Duckworth/Lewis method for
recalculating the target score was not utilised will count
for the purpose of net run rate calculations."). However, all
available evidence indicates that this rule had been
ignored/forgotten and Sri Lanka needed to score 222 runs off 40
overs to qualify for the final.
- ST Jayasuriya 50 off 34 balls, 7x4, 1x6
- Further to the above comic farce, at 4:18pm (SL 71/0 off 12
overs) the match referee interrupted the match to inform the
umpires that a miscalculation was made and that it should be
a 42 over match. The Sri Lankan target to win was
're-revised' to 271 in 42 overs and the apparent target
(pending clarification on why the ICC playing conditions were
not followed) to qualify for the final calculated to be 232.
No further adjustment was made to the fielding restrictions.
- MS Atapattu 50 off 79 balls, 3x4
- DMPdeS Jayawardene 50 off 48 balls, 3x4, 1x6
