Opener Mahela Jayawardene gave Sri Lanka a good start after the team was asked to bat first.
Zoom
His partner in Upul Tharanga looked good with his two boundaries but could not hurt the Indians as he became the first batsman to fall - on 11 off 29. He was removed by Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Zoom
Jayawardene went on to score 22 off 28 before he too surrendered to Bhuvneshwar.
Zoom
Bhuvneshwar was on the money with his bowling and was typically economical.
His 8 overs of the day would eventually cost just 24 runs at an economy of 3.
Zoom
It was Kumar Sangakkara who steadied the Lankan ship with some sensible batting.
His start may have been watchful but he soon shifted gears to hit six boundaries and a six.
Zoom
Spinner R Ashwin got the better off Sangakkara (71 off 100).
Ashwin went on to add another wicket to his tally.
Zoom
There were the rare chances that went down - Suresh Raina seen here spilling a relatively unorthodox catch off his own bowling.
Zoom
Once Sangakkara left though, Ravindra Jadeja tightened the noose and the Sri Lankan batting suffocated.
Zoom
Jadeja claimed four wickets - primarily in the Sri Lankan lower-middle and tail - to restrict the target to 202.
Zoom
In reply, India's start was dismal as Shaminda Eranga claimed two quick wickets to put pressure.
He first removed Shikhar Dhawan (16) and returned to dismiss Virat Kohli on 2.
Zoom
Rohit Sharma - like Sangakkara in the previous innings - anchored himself in the middle and completed his 17th ODI fifty. He was eventually removed by Rangana Herath on 58.
Zoom
Herath had previously also ended Dinesh Karthik's innings after he and Rohit had completed a 50-run partnership.
Zoom
The spinner came back to claim two off two when he dismissed Ravindra Jadeja and Ashwin - both adjudged LBW.
Zoom
Dhoni came in and batted sensibly to have India crawling towards the target. His full fury though was unleashed in the final over when he hit the 15 runs needed. The match came to a cracking end with two balls to spare.
