Toss West Indies choose to bowl vs Sri Lanka
West Indies received the toss and selected to bowl first on a moist night in Dambulla, during which the toss was delayed by half an hour. Captain Rovman Powell mentioned his choice was primarily based on the likelihood that the moisture within the floor would possibly supply one thing for the quicks early on. Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka mentioned he would have bowled first additionally.
Bhanuka Rajapaksa performs his first worldwide since early 2023, and seam-bowling allrounder Chamindu Wickramasinghe performs his second worldwide.
