New Delhi: With new captain came new luck for Sri Lanka as the hosts won their first toss of the series and opted to bat first against India in the third ODI at Pallekele.
Chamara Kapugedara, who is the stand-in captain after Upul Tharanga was handed a two match suspension for slow over rate, informed about the two forced changes in the side. Chandimal and Thirimanne came in for Tharanga and Gunathilaka.
India on the other hand are unchanged and would look to wrap up the series so that they can contunue with their experimentation theory in the run up to the 2019 World Cup.
