Yes. I do agree it was a superb performance from Sri Lanka. The area where they beat the Indians was bowling and ground fielding.

Actually what is india's next assigment after the last odi against Pak
The Champ said:
It might be an ODI series against Sri Lanka (it has been postponed but is definitely on) and then a Super Series in August.
My next assignment after the New Zealand tour is going to be the Super Series with India and Pakistan as user teams!
Sri Lanka win toss and elect to bat first!
5th Dead Rubber ODI Starts - Sri Lanka bat first!
Toss: Sri Lanka (elect to bat first!)
Pitch: Dry
Venue: New Delhi
Match: 5th and final ODI
Teams: India vs Sri Lanka
Officiating Umpires: AV Jayaprakash and Steve Bucknor
Conditions: Hot and Sunny; Day match
Marvan Atapattu called Heads correctly and elected to bat first in this dead 5th ODI of the series. With Sri Lanka already having won the series, this match can be considered one where India have the opportunity to rebuild for the tougher New Zealand tour! Sri Lanka still look hungry for another win as it would help them in their future assignments.
India have decided to drop Ashish Nehra and go with Harbhajan Singh. The wicket looks dry on the outset and might play differently in the afternoon and the occasional ball might keep low. So the team batting first here has a distinct advantage! Sri Lanka have retained their same team.

Come on India!!!
India right on top!
Sri Lanka 56/3 after 15 overs
S Jayasuriya 24 (40)
A Gunawardena 24 (38)
A Kumble 3/10 (2)
In the final 5th dead rubber ODI, India have started off in the best possible fashion, picking up 3 very very important Sri Lankan wickets. The men who scripted the 4th ODI and this series victory, Jayasuriya and Atapattu were out within the space of 2 balls. Jayasuriya tried to clear Kumble over mid on but found Tendulkar take a brilliant one handed diving catch to dismiss Jayasuriya.
Dravid, immediately sensing Atapattu's aggressive nature this series, positioned a man straight down the ground at the boundary. And Atapattu rightly lofted the ball down the ground and the fielder, Khan made no mistake in pouching the ball. Next ball, drama followed. Sangakkara played the same shot, same fielder but different result. The ball just missed the fielder into the boundary ropes. End of an eventful over from Kumble.
Gunawardena then again came out of the wicket trying to smash Kumble into orbit but Gunawardena had to go to orbit as he saw Dhoni finishing his now permanent job of stumping batsman!!! Kumble has bowled very well and has picked 3 wickets so far.
It was a superb bowling effort from Khan who tightened the screws of the Sri Lankan batsman and made them make mistakes. He has bowled 7 overs for only 19 runs. Truly a great effort!
