The third and final One-Day International (ODI) match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand has been delayed due to rain.

However, there will be a 43-over match, scheduled to begin at 11:30 AM local time. Covers have come off and umpires made an inspection.

After four years, Dambulla is hosting a match and the weather is gloomy.

New Zealand won the toss and have put Sri Lanka to the bat at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium on Saturday.

Sri Lanka have made one change with Dimuth Karunaratne making way for all-rounder Thisara Perera.

New Zealand have replaced paceman Adam Milne with Mitchell McClenaghan.

Teams:

Sri Lanka: Tillakaratne Dilshan, Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara, Dinesh Chandimal (wk), Angelo Mathews (c), Lahiru Thirimanne, Thisara Perera, Nuwan Kulasekara, Sachithra Senanayake, Lasith Malinga, Rangana Herath
