India is set to face Sri Lanka in the third ODI on Sunday in Hyderabad and the hosts would be looking to seal the five-match series having thrashed the tourists in the previous two matches.
Sri Lanka skipper Angelo Mathews is not accustomed to losing this year and he described the feeling as being thrashed and embarrassed.
Mathews' squad had won 15 of their 20 matches prior to this tour with 12 (out of 14) being away victories.
However, India took a comfortable 2-0 lead in the five-match ODI series against Sri Lanka and the hosts would look to seal the series in the third encounter itself.
India posted a mammoth 363 to win the opening game by a 169-run margin and then achieved their 275-run target with more than five overs to spare in the next match.
