The infamous Indian batting collapse made an unwelcome appearance for the second time during the 2010 ODI tri-series involving Sri Lanka and New Zealand as MS Dhoni's side were bowled out for a paltry total of 103 runs against the hosts after being 50-2 at one stage.

To add to the embarrassment of the Indian team, Sri Lanka chased down the total in just 15.1 overs, subjecting India to its biggest defeat in ODIs in terms of balls remaining.

Thisira Perera led to the visitors' downfall on the day as he picked up a 5-wicket haul while Yuvraj Singh was India's top-scorer with 38.

Sri Lanka wasted little time in chasing down the target as they got there losing just 2 wickets along the way.
