The tourists surrendered dramatic final afternoon of the first test at Cardiff, being skittled for only 82 24.4 overs in as they lost by an innings and 14 runs.
England could take over the India as World No.1 if they win their series House against sri Lanka and the winner of the World Cup this summer, but Dilshan was able to retain optimistically when asked his opinion on the hosts.
"You can see they played very good cricket in recent years," he said. "In the six or seven months that they beat the Australia in Australia, and they also beat the Australia here."
"But you cannot say this performance that they are the best team, and we wait and see what happens in the next two meetings."
If Sri Lanka are to put any pressure on their hosts, they will have to demonstrate a greater force mental soul that they have managed the day five in the Welsh capital.
This score of 82 was lower in Sri Lanka in England and their articulation-quatrième lowest of all time.
Key of Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene drummers, two of them only recently arrived on the tour of the IPL, were unable to post a significant score in two rounds, but Dilshan does not believe that their recent output ttwweennttyy assigned their respective performance.
"Mahela and Sanga, they came here to the end, but they are experienced players and we know that they can adapt rapidly to this format of the game, but unfortunately things have gone wrong," he said.
Some eyebrows were raised in the election of Sri Lanka go with only six drummers at the stage SWALEC, with wicketkeeper Prasanna Jayawardene bumped the command, but they had cast commendable in their first round to make the 400.
This knock makes it more difficult for the Dilshan explain how his side collapsed dramatically on land that were proven to be good to bat on throughout the competition.
He said: "it is very difficult to explain, I can't believe we have dropped to just 25 overs with this good a frappeurs range as we have." We lost the match, because we really looks bad.
"We knew that we should stick to less than 45 or 50 overs." We knew with impatience the morning that they say, everyone knew that after cent they Bell (Ian) State, but I can't explain what happened.
"It was a very good one-stop with a bit of turn and a bit of bounce", he added.
"It was a very good track." Over the last two days, it was good for batting, but did us not bat well, it was the main issue, but it was really good for Test cricket.
"It will be difficult to forget this Test match but we have to stick together as a team, to do everything we can, outside cricket come together and forget everything and try and go Friday in a positive spirit of the Lord.".
