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.
