COLOMBO: India won the toss and elected to bowl first against Sri Lanka in a Nidahas Twenty20 Tri-Series match, here today.
The match was reduced to 19-overs-a-side affair after over an hour was lost due to rain.
India has made one change to its playing eleven, finally bringing in KL Rahul in place of Rishabh Pant.
Sri Lanka were forced to make a change, bringing in Suranga Lakmal in place of regular skipper Dinesh Chandimal, who has been banned for two games because of slow over-rates.
