That's all from this game. The teams will now head to Ranchi for the second T2OI on 12th February, 2016 at 1930 IST. Will the Indians level it up? Join us then to find out. Until then, goodbye and take care.

MAN OF THE MATCH, KASUN RAJITHA, the debutant for his figures - 4-0-29-3. Especially, that opening over of the match, which set the tone.

DINESH CHANDIMAL says he is very happy with his team's bowling performance. Adds toss was important for them and appreciates his bowlers for putting up a brilliant performance. Adds his bowlers put in their heart and soul and that has paid off.

MS DHONI says the wicket was different as it was a little bit spongy. Adds it was very different from the one in Australia. Blames the Indian batsmen for playing those rash shots and throwing their wickets. Further adds it wasn't a 160 track but was good enough for 140. Further says you need attitude to always get scores and when you have lost the first game you are under pressure since it's a short series. Ends by saying they will look to come out hard at Ranchi.

Well, tough luck for the Indians. They didn't get enough runs on the board and have maintained the record - whenever they have been bowled out in this format batting first, they have never defended it down. Ashwin was the best in both the departments, he scored 31 with the willow and got two with the leather. Nehra provided with the start with the bowling but just wasn't able to stop the Lankans. Well, Sri Lanka move to the top of the ICC rankings in T20Is wheres as the home side slip to third. Stay tuned as the presentation is coming up.

This new inexperienced side for Sri Lanka have impressed one and all. They got everything their way today. First, they won the toss and opted to field. Their bowlers, Kasun and Dasun did the major damage but it was the debutant who was stupendous with the ball, picking up 2 wickets in the very first over. Then when they came out to bat, they didn't get the perfect start but Chandimal and Kapugedera did it with ease. The former then departed after playing superbly but the latter along with Siriwardana took the charge.
