Pallekele: Aug 7, 2012


Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene won the toss and chose to field in the only T20 International against India at Pallekele.

 

India are on a high after winning the One-Day International series 4-1.

 

Rohit Sharma's poor form remains a worry. However, Manoj Tiwary's contribution with the bat and the ball is a good sign for India.

 

Sri Lanka will look for a consolidatory victory against the visitors.

 

Teams:

 

Sri Lanka: Tillakaratne Dilshan, Upul Tharanga, Mahela Jayawardene (c), Angelo Mathews, Dinesh Chandimal (wk), Thisara Perera, Lahiru Thirimanne, Lasith Malinga, Rangana Herath, Jeevan Mendis, Isuru Udana.

 

India: Gautam Gambhir, Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Manoj Tiwary, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (c & wk), Suresh Raina, Irfan Pathan, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ashok Dinda, Umesh Yadav
