By IANS News November 02, 2023 • 14:04 PM View: 668

ODI World Cup: Sri Lanka skipper Kusal Mendis won the toss and elected to bowl first against India in a crucial league match of the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 at the Wankhede stadium here on Thursday.

Mendis said they think batting second will be better on this pitch. "The players have done well in a couple of matches and are giving their best. Very important three games for us" said Mendis at the toss.

Sri Lanka have made one change in the team that lost to Afghanistan in Pune a couple of days back, bringing in Dushan Hemantha in place of Dhananjaya de Silva.
