The first ODI of the three game ODI series was held on 12 September. Sri Lanka won the loss and elected to field. India's openers, Kris Srikkanth and Roger Binny, made a first-wicket stand of 62 runs before Binny was dismissed for 16. Srikkanth and Dilip Vengsarkar took India to one wicket for 95 runs before Vengsarkar was caught out for 23. Srikkanth was dismissed 34 runs later for 57. Sandeep Patil and Ashok Malhotra made 33 runs together until Patil was dismissed LBW for 15. Malhotra was out 11 runs later for 40. At that stage India were five wickets for 173 runs. Kapil Dev and Yashpal Sharma came together and made 68 runs. Dev was dismissed for 49 and then Mohinder Amarnath for 13. Armarnath's dismissal brought the end of the match as rain had meant that four overs were not played for each team. Sharma made 37 runs not out as India finished seven wickets for 269 runs. Five Sri Lanka's took wickets in the innings. Bandula Warnapura took two wickets for 41 runs, Somachandra de Silva took two wickets for 49 runs, Anura Ranasinghe took one wicket for 21 runs, Vinothen John took one wicket for 44 runs and Ashantha de Mel made one wicket for 58 runs.
Requiring 269 runs off 46 overs to win, Sri Lanka made a bad start to their innings when Bandula Warnapura was bowled for a duck when Sri Lanka was only on eight runs. For the third-wicket, Sidath Wettimuny and Roy Dias made 59 runs. Dias was dismissed for 39. Wettimuny and Duleep Mendis put on 28 runs together before Wettimuny was dismissed for 43. Three runs later Ranjan Madugalle was caught out for one. Mendis was joined by Anura Ranasinghe and the pair put on 57 together before Ranasinghe was dismissed for 35. Ashantha de Mel was demised three runs later and, at that stage, Sri Lanka were 6 wickets for 158 runs. Mendis and Somachandra de Silva made seventh-wicket partnership of eight. Mendis was out for 33 and his dismissal brought Sri Lanka seven wickets for 166 runs, still trailing India by 103 runs. De Silva fell when Sri Lanka was on 175 runs. Mahes Goonatilleke and Ravi Ratnayeke batted out the innings together. At the end of 46 overs, Sri Lanka was 78 runs behind India's score and therefore lost the match. Dilip Doshi took the most wickets, taking four wickets for 44 runs. Three other bowlers took a wicket. They were Mohinder Amarnath (two wickets for 50 runs), Kapil Dev (no wicket for nine runs) and Madan Lal (one wicket for 24 runs).[2]

Despite losing the first ODI, Sri Lanka, once again, chose to bat after winning the toss. The second ODI started badly when Bandula Warnapura was out for four runs. This was the Sri Lankan captain Warnapura's fourth score under ten on the tour in as many matches. Sidath Wettimuny and Roy Dias made 170 runs for the second wicket, taking Sri Lanka to two wickets for 180 runs, before Wettimuny was caught for 74. Duleep Mendis was out for ten shortly after. The next batsmen to fall was Dias who made 102 off 144 balls. Eleven runs after Dias was dismissed, Ravi Ratnayeke was out for two and then, without Sri Lanka scoring another run, Anura Ranasinghe was bowled for 20. Ranjan Madugalle and Ashantha de Mel put on 11 runs for the seventh wicket before Madugalle was out for seven. When de Mel fell for 28, Sri Lanka were eight wickets for 269 runs. Ajit de Silva and Mahes Goonatilleke batted out the innings. Sri Lanka made 277 runs for eight wickets off 50 overs. Vinothen John did not bat.
