Wellalage’s five-for was the standout performance of the match, ending Sri Lanka’s series drought against India. The bowlers performed exceptionally well in favorable conditions, with spinners playing a key role in restricting India’s strong batting lineup.
As Sri Lanka gears up for their Test series against England, the team will be looking to build on their success in the ODI series. The inclusion of several players from the ODI squad in the Test squad highlights the depth and talent in the team.
With England missing key players like Zak Crawley due to injury, Sri Lanka will be aiming to capitalize on any weaknesses in the opposition. The last time Sri Lanka beat England in a Test series was in 2014, and they will be eager to replicate that success.
Overall, Sri Lanka’s victory over India in the ODI series has boosted team morale and confidence ahead of the upcoming challenges. The captain’s praise for the interim head coach and the team’s positive environment bodes well for their future performances.
