The sting in the Indian tail was not going to last for long. Chaminda Vaas bowled a quick yorker that crashed into the stumps and Zaheer Khan (16) had to walk back to the pavilion. Dighe's dour defence made little sense as it was just a matter of time that Lankans wrapped it up. Dighe (23 off 63 balls) was caught by Kaluwitharana off the bowling of an impressive Vaas and the Indian innings came to grinding halt on 174 in 47.2 overs. Sri Lanka won the Coca-Cola Cup by a thumping margin of 121 runs. Arnold was named the Man of the Match and Jaysuriya took the Man of the Series award.
