India's victory margin of 157 runs against Sri Lanka on Wednesday was a new national record. This was their biggest win so far in terms of runs to date against any team. Thus they beat their record against Australia made in the 1983 Prudential World Cup.

India's biggest win over Sri Lanka was by 94 runs at Baroda in 1986-87. The following table shows India's biggest wins in LOI matches.
