IND vs SL, 3rd T2OI: Malinga Wins Toss, Sri Lanka To Bowl First

Sri Lanka skipper Lasith Malinga won the toss and elected to bowl first at the MCA at Pune. Angelo Matthews and Lakshan Sankadan come into the Lankan Playing XI.

India will be facing off against Sri Lanka in the third and final T2O international  at the Maharashtra Cricket Stadium at Pune. The 'Men In Blue' have already taken an unassailable lead after winning the second T2OI at Indore . The Indians are eyeing yet another series win over the Lankans in the shortest format and extending their run of straight wins against the sub continent neighbors to seven. Sri Lanka skipper Lasith Malinga won the toss and elected to bowl first at the MCA at Pune. Angelo Matthews and Lakshan Sankadan come into the Lankan Playing XI. India have also made three changes to their Playing XI with Manish Pandey, Sanju Samson and Y Chahal coming into the lineup for today's game. Sanju Samson will be playing his first T2OI for India after a gap of almost four years. He last donned the Indian jersey in the shorter format against Zimbabwe way back in 2015. Lasith Malinga: We will bowl first. There might be dew in the second innings. Our top-four batsmen need to get big runs. We have discussed that. We have two changes. Angelo and Sandakan come in. Virat Kohli: We wanted to bat first as we wanted to do something different today. Trend is going towards team batting second. You can't go into the match thinking you can only do well when you chase. We want to embrace difficult things. India has made three changes to their playing eleven. India Playing Eleven India (Playing XI): Lokesh Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Virat Kohli(c), Manish Pandey, Sanju Samson(w), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Navdeep Saini, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal Sri Lanka Playing Eleven Sri Lanka (Playing XI): Danushka Gunathilaka, Avishka Fernando, Kusal Perera(w), Oshada Fernando, Angelo Mathews, Dhananjaya de Silva, Dasun Shanaka, Lakshan Sandakan, Wanindu Hasaranga, Lasith Malinga(c), Lahiru Kumara
