The Indian and Sri Lankan cricket teams arrived in Jaipur on Sunday morning for the third one-day international amidst unprecedented security following the serial bomb blasts in Delhi.

The teams, escorted by a large security contingent, headed straight to Rajputana Sheraton hotel from the airport.

BCCI secretary S K Nair, who accompanied the teams, said Monday's match would be held as scheduled.

"The teams have arrived safely. The match will be played as scheduled," he said.

Both sides are expected to practice later in the day at the Sawai Mansingh cricket stadium.

A red alert has been sounded in Jaipur following the Delhi blasts and the local administration is leaving no stone unturned to ensure the smooth conduct of the match.

India are 2-0 up in the seven-match series.
