2011 Cricket World Cup: India finish the chase in Mumbai

Champions: India · Hosts: Bangladesh, India & Sri Lanka

India’s second World Cup

India beat Sri Lanka by six wickets at the Wankhede Stadium on 2 April to win the men’s World Cup for the second time. Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka shared hosting duties, and two of the hosts met in the final.

A century and a chase

Mahela Jayawardene’s unbeaten 103 helped Sri Lanka reach 274 for six. India lost their opening batters early, but Gautam Gambhir made 97 and captain MS Dhoni finished unbeaten on 91. India reached 277 for four in 48.2 overs, with Dhoni sealing the result with a six.

The finish belonged to Dhoni

Dhoni moved ahead of Yuvraj Singh in the batting order and joined Gambhir to rebuild the chase. Gambhir fell short of a century, but Dhoni and Yuvraj took India home. Dhoni was named Player of the Match, and India added to the title they first won in 1983.
