Sri Lanka vs England 7th ODI

Sri Lanka bat first in dead rubber

Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat in the seventh and final one-day international against England at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Tuesday.

Sri Lanka has already sealed the series 4-2, and both sides will be giving an opportunity to those members who have not had a good run yet.

Kumar Sangakkara is six runs short of the highest number of runs in a calendar year across all formats.

 In the sixth ODI, Jayawardene came to open the innings. The move was not a successful one, but team management might think of giving it another try. In the bowling department, Sri Lanka started with two spinners in that game. Mathews would be tempted to do more such experiments on Tuesday

SRI LANKA: DPMD Jayawardene, TM Dilshan, KC Sangakkara (wk), S Prasanna, AD Mathews (capt), LD Chandimal, NLTC Perera, BMAJ Mendis, HDRL Thirimanne, RAS Lakmal, MDK Perera

ENGLAND: AN Cook (capt), MM Ali, AD Hales, JE Root, JWA Taylor, EJG Morgan, JC Buttler (wk), CR Woakes, CJ Jordan, JC Tredwell, HF Gurney
