Srilanka's Massive Win Over Canada

Sri Lanka beat Canada by 210 runs in the opening game of the Cricket World Cup 2011 in the country's southern district of Hambantota on Sunday.

Sri Lanka after posting seven for 332 bowled Canada out for 122 in the 37th of the allotted 50 overs.

Canada chasing the host's mammoth total under flood lights lost wickets at regular intervals.

Only three Canadians reached double figures as the visitors reeled under the sheer weight of the Sri Lankan tally.

Rizwan Cheema was the only Canadian batsman to show a fight by making 37 off 35 balls.

He hit two towering sixes off Muttiah Muralitharan. Captain Ashish Bagai with 22 and Harvir Baidwan with 16 not out were the only others to reach double figures.
