Mahender Singh Dhoni commended efforts of Zaheer Khan (2 for 36) and Ashish Nehra (4 for 40) for bowling India to a resounding 81-run win over Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup finals at the Rangiri international stadium here today.

"I knew what my fast bowlers were capable of doing on this wicket. Both Ashish and Zaheer bowled brilliantly. With the ball doing a bit off the seam, it was always going to be difficult for their batsmen to score runs off them," said an elated Dhoni adding he was happy to win the cup after 15 years.
