COLOMBO: Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan completed a record bowling double before India posted an emphatic 67-run win in the fourth one-day international here on Thursday.The victory was set up by left-handed opener Gautam Gambhir, who smashed a career-best 150 off 147 balls to help his side score a challenging 332-5. He hit one six and 14 fours in his sixth hundred in one-dayers.Sri Lanka never seriously threatened India’’s total and were bowled out for 265 in the day-night match, which was held up for nearly 20 minutes after Indian fielder Pragyan Ojha was hit by an object thrown from the stands.The hosts got off to a blazing start when Tillakaratne Dilshan (38) and Sanath Jayasuriya (27) added 55 for the opening wicket off just 7.2 overs, but the run-rate declined after their dismissals.Wicketkeeper-batsman Kumar Sangakkara top-scored with 56 for his second successive half-century, while Nuwan Kulasekara (39 not out), skipper Mahela Jayawardene (28) and Farveez Maharoof (28) were the other main run-getters.India, who now lead 4-0 in the five-match series, also improved upon their record of eight successive one-day wins. They had beaten England 5-0 at home last year.Off-spin genius Muralitharan, the world’’s leading bowler in Test cricket, became the highest wicket-taker in one-dayers when he dismissed Gambhir for his 503rd victim. The 36-year-old Sri Lankan surpassed former Pakistan paceman Wasim Akram’’s one-day record when he had the opener caught by Sangakkara in his 10th and last over. He also holds the world record in Tests with 769 wickets.Muralitharan dedicated the record to his family, saying they had stood by him through “good and bad times”.”I am happy to have achieved the record. It is also a great achievement for a small cricket nation like Sri Lanka to hold two bowling records.”
