The Sri Lankan spinners will be hoping to exploit the conditions that aid slower bowlers

4. Performance against India so far

CRICKET-JAM-IND-SRI

Sri Lanka were defeated in the Champions Trophy semi-final before coming to the tri-series; but they have had the upper hand in the encounters that have been played so far in this tournament.

Sri Lanka destroyed the lacklustre India bowling attack with Upul Tharanga and Mahela Jayawardene scoring centuries. The Indian batting, arguably the best line-up in the one-day format of the game, crumbled in that match for a dismal total of 187. In spite of losing the match eventually, Sri Lanka contained the powerful Indian batting in the last group game with ease. India were 119/3 at the end of almost thirty overs when the match was interrupted.
