3rd ODI: Sri Lanka elect to field against Windies

PALLEKELE, Sri Lanka (AFP) — Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews won the toss and elected to field in the third and final one-day international against the West Indies in Pallekele on Saturday.

Sri Lanka brought in fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera in place of off-spinner Sachithra Senanayake in the only change from the side that won the second ODI in Colombo on Wednesday to wrap up the three-match series 2-0.

West Indies’ captain Jason Holder returned to lead the side after serving a one-match ban for a slow over rate while wicketkeeper-batsman Denesh Ramdin also made it to the squad.

The one-day series will be followed by two Twenty20 games.

Sri Lanka had swept the preceding Test series 2-0.

Sri Lanka: Angelo Mathews (capt), Kusal Perera, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Lahiru Thirimanne, Dinesh Chandimal, Shehan Jayasuriya, Dushmantha Chameera, Milinda Siriwardana, Suranga Lakmal, Lasith Malinga, Ajantha Mendis

West Indies: Jason Holder (capt), Marlon Samuels, Johnson Charles, Andre Fletcher, Jermaine Blackwood, Darren Bravo, Jonathan Carter, Carlos Brathwaite, Denesh Ramdin, Sunil Narine, Ravi Rampaul.

Umpires: Michael Gough (ENG) and R R Wimalasiri (SRI)

TV umpire: Rod Tucker (AUS)

Match referee: David Boon (AUS)

SCORE: West Indies 164-8 Overs: 29 (36)
