Kumar Sangakkara cashed on in experience under tremendous pressure and cracked a century to help Sri Lanka registered two wickets victory over India in Asia Cup match at Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium in Fatullah, Bangladesh.

Sangakkara slammed his 18th ODIhundred as Sri Lanka chased down the 265-run target in 49.2 overs.

Jadeja jolted Sri Lankan chase when he dismissed Mahela Jayawardene and Dinesh Chandimal on consecutive deliveries to leave them struggling at 148/4 in 31.2 overs.

Pacer Mohammed Shami also joined the party dismissing skipper Angelo Mathews to put India on top.

Earlier, opener Shikhar Dhawan missed out on a century by six runs as spinner Ajantha Mendis returned to haunt India by restricting them to 264 for nine.

Sent into bat, Dhawan (94) and captain Virat Kohli (48) led India's recovery in a 97-run second-wicket partnership, before Mendis, more than three years after his mystery was decoded by the Indian batsmen, came back to trouble them with figures of 4/60 at the Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium.

Mendis castled Kohli and Dhawan with his carrom ball while off-spinner Sachitra Senanayake scalped 3/41 as India's new-look middle order sorely missed Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Thanks to the duo's exploits, India slipped after being comfortably placed at 175 for two in the 36th over. Ajinkya Rahane (22), Ambati Rayudu (18) and Dinesh Karthik (4) looked good but could not covert their starts, while Stuart Binny did not trouble the scorers after being out for a zero.

Fast bowlers Ryan Harris and Mitchell Johnson shared seven wickets as Australia continued their dominance on the third day of the third and final Test against South Africa at Newlands on Monday.

With reverse swing playing a significant role, Australia bowled out South Africa for 287, a lead of 207, and added another 27 runs for no wicket before close of play.

It left Australia in a strong position to push for a series-clinching victory against the world champions, with 98 overs due to be bowled on both the remaining days.

Harris took three for 63 and Johnson four for 42. South African top-scorer Faf du Plessis, who made 67, expressed surprise at how early Australia achieved reverse swing.

Captain Michael Clarke's decision to declare at Australia's overnight total of 494 for seven paid off as his South African counterpart Graeme Smith failed again and South Africa lost four wickets before lunch.

Despite losing early wickets, South Africa scored freely during an extended morning's play, reaching 127 for four off 32 overs at lunch.

But with the Australian bowlers achieving reverse swing as the ball got older, the scoring slowed to a trickle after in-form batsman AB de Villiers was caught at second slip off Johnson for 14 soon after lunch. JP Duminy fell to a catch behind by Brad Haddin off Harris for four before Faf du Plessis and Vernon Philander came together in a seventh wicket stand of 95, the best of the innings.

Du Plessis battled his way to 67 before Johnson returned to the attack and he edged a drive fast and low to gully, where David Warner held a good catch.
