(UTV|COLOMBO) – Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bowl first against England in the 1st ODI played at Dambulla International Cricket Stadium.
After a disappointing Asia Cup tournament, Sri Lanka will get ready to host England for 5-ODI, 3 Test and 1 T20I series. Some major changes have been made and Angelo Mathews has been left out from the squad. Dinesh Chandimal has been appointed as the limited-overs captain and under his guidance, Sri Lanka will hope to start off with a win. England, on the other hand, will play their first match since the Test series against England, and will hope to continue the winning form.
