Chennai, December 20: Sri Lanka all-rounder Angelo Mathews will miss the rest of the one-day series in India because of injury.
The medium-pacer strained his right quadricep during his match-winning 37 not out in Friday`s second ODI, which the tourists won by three wickets to level the five-match series 1-1.
The recovery is expected to take up to four weeks, the team said on Saturday on their website.
The third match will be played in Cuttack on Monday.
Uncapped all-rounder Thissara Perera was named as Mathews` replacement on a tour that has already seen four bowlers return home injured.
