Premadasa International Cricket Stadium here on Monday.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nPut in to bat, Sri Lanka lost their wickets at regular intervals in a match which was curtailed to 19 overs due to rain. Apart from opener Kusal Mendis (55) no other batsmen contributed handsomely.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe hosts started on a steady note but when scoreboard was reading 25 runs in three overs, opener Danushka Gunathilaka (17) was dismissed by pacer Shardul Thakur.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIncoming batsmen Kusal Perera (3) also failed this time and was sent packing cheaply by leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal in the very next over.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nWith scoreboard reading 34\/2, Mendis and new batsman Upul Tharanga (22) joined hands and forged a 58-run partnership to stabilise the innings.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nJust when things seemed good in the middle, Tharanga was sent back by pacer Vijay Shankar in the 11th over, making the score read 96\/3.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nSkipper Thisara Perera (15) also failed to rise to the occasion and gifted away his wicket to Thakur when needed the most.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nLower 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.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nFor India, Thakur scalped four wickets while Washington Sundar took two wickets.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBrief scores: Sri Lanka: 152\/9 (Kusal Mendis 55; Shardul Thakur 4\/27) against India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
