Fast-bowler Mohamed Shiraz has been handed his debut cap as Sri Lanka win toss and elect to bat first against India in the ODI series opener here at the R Premadasa Stadium on Friday.

After winning the toss, captain Charith Asalanka said it looks like a dry pitch, which has prompted him to bat first. "We are going with 6-5 combination. We have to improve our mental skills, we did some bad things in the last game (third T20I).
