Hyderabad: Sri Lankan skipper Angelo Mathews said the challenge of performance against India in their own backyard was never beyond doubt but he is pained to see that they have failed to play their brand of cricket.

"It was always going to be tough in India, whether you are prepared or not prepared. It is a challenging tour for any team, not only us. Not many teams have won against India in India. But we just wanted to play our brand of cricket, which we haven't played in the last three games," a dejected Mathews said at the post-match conference after losing the third ODI by six wickets.


"If we play our brand of cricket and stop worrying about winning or losing then I think we can head into the World Cup pretty high and confident," the all-rounder added. Mathews said the batsmen, specially the youngsters, have let the side down, resulting in team's lackluster show. "We can't repeat those mistakes time and again.


We flopped in our batting. I thought the power-play was crucial, we lost 4 wickets for minimum runs. We keep doing the same mistakes and hope that we win, which we cannot do here. Especially against a quality team like India you got to stay positive. 300 is a minimum mark here on these wickets. 242 was nothing for the bowlers to bowl at," said Mathews.
