Kumar Sangakara the senior Sri Lankan Batsman said today that we are desperate to win our first match of the tournament against India in the ODI Tri series.
As everybody knows that Indian team always strong in India with the smaller grounds and conditions they are used to. We have always played our best cricket against them. Sangakkara was trying to play few mind games knowing well that he can't back his statements with facts which state otherwise.
In Australia, India have lost only one out of six matches against Sri Lanka. In England, it's again a solitary loss from five games. The only time they met in South Africa, India prevailed handsomely.
Yes India did lose to Sri Lanka by 69 runs in the 2007 World Cup group league match and they suffer by 19-26 win-loss ratio in Sri Lanka but overall they have had a superior presence than their island neighbours in 50 over format.
Even in Sri Lanka, in the last 17 matches, India have emerged victors in 10 matches. In India, of course they enjoy a 29-11 win-loss record. Overall, India have won 69 and lost 50 matches with no-result in 11 matches.
