Chasing 152/9 target in a match which was curtailed to 19 overs due to rain, Rohit Sharma (11) and Shikhar Dhawan (8) could not provide the start India wanted. New batsmen Lokesh Rahul (18) and Suresh Raina (27) were dismissed after getting a good start. Rahul got hit-wicket off Jeevan Mendis. (Photo: Surjeet Yadav/IANS)

With the scoreboard reading 34/2, Mendis and new batsman Upul Tharanga (22) joined hands and forged a 58-run partnership to stabilise the innings.

Skipper Thisara Perera (15) also failed to rise to the occasion and gifted away his wicket to Thakur when he was needed the most. Lower middle-order batsmen Jeevan Mendis (5), Dasun Shanaka (19), Akila Dananjaya (5) tried to score quickly towards the end but could not provide the finish Sri Lanka wanted. Here we see a Sri Lankan and an Indian fan hoisting their respective National Flags. (Photo: Surjeet Yadav/IANS)
