Sri Lanka [ Images ] are clearly a force to reckon with in one-dayers, especially when playing at home, as their win percentage of 65 in 135 matches shows.

India [ Images ] and South Africa [ Images ] will have their task cut out when they take on the islanders in the tri-series in Colombo. Both teams have failed to produce desirable results against the Lankans and will be keen to change the script this time around.
