Canberra, February 11:: Sri Lankan skipper Mahela Jayawardene on Monday said it would be a challenge for Indian team to consistently perform in the ongoing cricket tri-series in Canberra.

"They are a young side and there is a great deal of energy in them. But the sign of a good side is the consistency and that would be the real test for them," Jayawardene told reporters on the eve of their crucial match.

The Sri Lankan captain praised the Indians bowlers for their performances in the last few games.

"They have bowled really well and put pressure on opposition on this tour. That makes them dangerous. Also there is not a great deal of preparation teams have done against them. The test would start now."

Sri Lanka, yet to register a win in the series, were thrashed by Australia by 128 runs in their previous match and were reeling at the bottom of the points table with two points from as many matches, but Jayawardene was not worried.

"The way Australia got out yesterday, bowled out for 159, it can happen to any side. It doesn't make them a bad side as it doesn't make us any worse," he said.

Jaywardene, however, observed that other teams were gradually catching up with Australia, threatening their top-spot in one-day cricket.

"Australia is no longer the dominant force as it used to be in one-day cricket earlier. Other teams are really catching up with them."
