Sri Lanka may have picked two points from their abandoned match against India, but vice-captain Kumar Sangakkara admitted that bowling in the slog overs remains a worry for the team.
India were 162 for four after 40 overs but Gautam Gambhir (102 not out) and Mahendra Singh Dhoni (88 not out) provided a late charge to swell the tally as 105 runs came off the last 10 overs.
"We have something to work on to keep the scores less in the last 10 overs," he said.
Sangakkara also claimed that the winning target of 268 was not out of reach.
"It was a bit disappointing as it would have been a good score to chase. We were very confident about it when we went in. Two games in a row the rain has been a spoiler."
All praise for Gambhir, Sangakkara said, "He batted very well and once he got through the initial period he settled himself to bat through the overs. That's what most sides expect of their batters.
"It was a very good knock and he will probably take a lot of confidence from it," Sangakkara said after the match.
"If I had held on to Gautam's catch, may be that would have turned things around a bit," he said, referring to his dropping of Gambhir when the batsman was on 11.
Sangakkara also defended appealing for the catch which he claimed against Rohit Sharma.
"The only reason I appeal is if I hear a noise and I think the batsman has nicked it, and we appeal and wait for the decision."
He then pleaded for umpiring mistakes to be taken in right spirit by everyone connected with the game. He mentioned about the wrong dismissal which he received in Hobart in a Test against Australia last year when he was batting on 192.
"There was a lot of things said after Hobart, there have been a lot of things said about umpiring in the last month.
"We as players have to realise it goes both ways; no one is perfect, the players make mistakes at certain times and we don't really help the umpires out. These umpires are the best going around and if they do make mistakes, you get on with the game and play cricket.
"When I was in Hobart that was the way it went, it wasn't too hard to move away. I didn't complain then. The way cricket is played, there is a lot more that is at stake," he said.
