Dilshan set to miss today's match against India

In-form Sri Lanka opening batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan is almost certain to miss today's cricket tri-series match against India after he suffered a groin injury during the tournament opener against hosts Bangladesh

In-form Sri Lanka opening batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan is almost certain to miss today's cricket tri-series match against India after he suffered a groin injury during the tournament opener against hosts Bangladesh here last night.

Dilshan, who masterminded his side to a seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh with a 122-ball 104 at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium, suffered a groin injury during the 34th over of the Sri Lanka innings and he is unlikely to play against today.

"Dilshan has pulled a muscle in the groin region. We are hoping that he will be able to play at some point in the tournament," Sangakkara, who came out as runner in the 35th over for Dilshan, said after the match.
