We lost to a formidable side:
Pietersen referred to India's 2-0 Test series win against world champions Australia and said his team lost to a formidable side.
Sri Lankan captain Mahela Jayawardene conceded after this team's 3 wicket defeat that his side lost the plot in the first 45 minutes when the top order collapse left them 30 runs short of a defendable target in the second one-dayer against India.
