Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat

Sri Lanka won the toss and invited India to bat first. After winning the toss, Sri Lankan captain Shanaka said that we have decided to bowl first. I think the wicket will be better later in the game. We cannot control injuries. It can change the momentum. Three matches of the T20 series are very important for us. At the same time, Indian captain Dhawan said that we wanted to bowl first because there is moisture in the pitch. However, but we have been able to score well.
