COLOMBO,  (Reuters) – Sri Lanka’s promising  all-rounder Angelo Mathews produced a career best six for 20 to  subject India to a humiliating 139 run defeat in the third  Tri-series match yesterday.

Sanath Jayasuriya (98) and Thilina Kandamby (91 not out)  took Sri Lanka to 307 for six then India succumbed for 168 from  37.2 overs.

India clearly felt the strain of playing back-to-back night  matches as their bowlers allowed Sri Lanka the luxury of 10  wides and their batsmen then capitulated against the moving  ball.

Both teams have qualified for Monday’s final. New Zealand  were eliminated after losing their two matches.
