Playing XI-

Sri Lanka:

Dinesh Chandimal (wk), Tillakaratne Dilshan, Milinda Siriwardana, Lahiru Thirimanne, Angelo Mathews (C), Chamara Kapugedera, Thisara Perera, Dasun Shanaka, Dushmantha Chameera, Rangana Herath, Jeffrey Vandersay

England:

Alex Hales, Jason Roy, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan (C), Jos Buttler (wk), Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali, Chris Jordan, David Willey, Adil Rashid, Liam Plunkett

England captain Eoin Morgan said: “Would have loved to bowl as well, simply on the fact that it looks a slow wicket and we don’t know what a good score is. Just means that we have to adapt better. Hales is in for Vince. I think the cricket we have played so far has been good. I think if we put up a good show with the bat, it will be difficult for the Lankans. Our coaching staff has been very helpful [the Lankans in their staff]. Sri Lanka are a strong unit and they have missed Mahela and Sanga after their retirements.”

Sri Lankan skipper Angelo Mathews after winning the toss said: “We’ll bowl first. Looks a good wicket. There is a tinge of grass on the wicket and won’t change much. One change for us. Would have loved to play Senanayake but the conditions are not allowing it. Have to win today to stay alive. Hopefully the boys will stand up. We just have to click as a unit in the batting. One guy needs to put his hand up and give something for the bowlers. We’ll still try to enjoy despite all the pressure.”

Sri Lanka won the toss and have opted to bowl first in their World T20 match against England at the Firoz Shah Kotla in New Delhi.
