    "editor1": "<p>Dambulla (Sri Lanka), Aug 20 -&nbsp;Sri Lanka wasted a good start to allow Indian spinners to bounce back in style and restrict the hosts to 216 in the first One-Day International cricket match of their five-match series at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium here on Sunday.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nFor Sri Lanka, openers Niroshan Dickwella (64) and Anjelo Mathews (36 not out) were the major contributors to the cause.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nUnlike the Test series, which the hosts lost 0-3, Sri Lanka started the limited overs campaign on a good note as their top order stood up to the occasion. The top three batsmen maintained a perfect run-rate till the halfway-mark of the allotted 50 overs.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIndia&#39;s ploy to use pacer Jasprit Bumrah as the first change also failed as all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who was brought in for Bumrah, was smashed by the Sri Lankan batman. Pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar also failed to click this time.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBut soon, after 12 overs, when the spinners were introduced, it was India gaining the upper edge as the Sri Lankan batsman found it difficult to tackle them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-livescore\/full-scorecard\/2245\/1st-odi-sri-lanka-v-india-1\">Full Scorecard<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after: always\"><span style=\"display: none;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>After Indian skipper Virat Kohli won the toss and put Sri Lanka in to bat, Dickwella and Danushka Gunathilaka gave the perfect start to their team as both forged a 74-run partnership in 14 overs before the latter was sent back to the pavilion by leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal (74\/1).<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nUnperturbed by the fall of Gunathilakas&#39; wicket, incoming batsman Kusal Mendis (36) along with Dickwella continued the pace and built up a 65-run stand for the second wicket. But just when things seemed good in the middle, Dickwella was adjudged leg before wicket off Kedar Jadhav in the 25th over (139\/2).<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIt was just after Dickwella&#39;s wicket that the Sri Lankans lost the plot and started losing their wickets at regular intervals. Apart from the top-three batsmen, no other player stood up to the Indian pressure and went back to the pavilion one by one.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAnjelo Mathews (36 not out) somehow managed to stick at the wicket but lack of support from the other end resulted in a low total for the hosts.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nMathews apart, other middle-order batsmen Upul Tharanga (13), Chamara Kapugedera (1) Wanidu Hasaranga (2) scored a total of 16 runs only.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nLower-order players Thisara Perera (0), Lakshan Sandakan (5) and Lasith Malinga (8) tried to make up for the middle-order collapse but failed and thus, after a perfect start, the Islanders were restricted to 216.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nFor India, left-arm spinner Axar Patel scalped three wickets while Bumrah, Chahal and Jadhav took two wickets each.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<strong>Brief scores: <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sri Lanka 216 all out (Niroshan Dickwella 64 and Anjelo Mathews 36 not out; Axar Patel 3\/34) against India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
