India bounced back from their shock defeat to hosts Zimbabwe to beat Sri Lanka by seven wickets in the second match of the triangular series in Bulawayo yesterday.
Angelo Mathews hit 75 and stand-in captain Tillakaratne Dilshan notched 61 as Sri Lanka were bowled out for 242 with one ball to spare.
Ashok Dinda, Pragyan Ojha and Ravindra Jadeja picked up two wickets each for India.
Rohit Sharma spearheaded India's chase, hitting an unbeaten 101 of 100 balls, his second ton in successive matches.
And with Virat Kohli chipping in with 82 India wrapped up the victory at 243 for three with nearly seven overs to spare.
Zimbabwe remain top of the table ahead of India because of their superior run rate.
Sri Lanka next face Zimbabwe tomorrow in Bulawayo, while India have the chance to gain revenge for their opening six-wicket loss to the hosts in Harare on Thursday.
