That's it! Sri Lanka have done it and won this match by 32 runs! What a win this has been for the Sri Lankan team on the back of an inspired bowling effort once again. It is a massive confidence booster for the island nation as they attain a 1-0 lead in this series. India started well like the last match but the openers' departure was followed by a middle-order collapse.

India would need to look into their batting and come up with a much-improved performance in the third ODI if they are to level the series.
