Match home for Sri Lanka v India, 2nd ODI, Dambulla, August 20, 2008

India level series with hard-fought win

India fought back to level the series 1-1 with a three-wicket win but the victory was far from convincing as they made heavy weather of a modest target of 143

Since the Asia Cup final, India's acclaimed batsmen have had to endure an ego hammering like no other, and there seems no quick solution in sight and time is certainly not at India's disposal with just a day's gap between games
