Captain Suresh Raina Chose To Bowl Against Sri Lanka In Bulawayo


On a mildly overcast day, Suresh Raina chose to bowl against Sri Lanka in Bulawayo as India looked to bounce back from the defeat against Zimbabwe.

Tillakaratne Dilshan, captaining Sri Lanka for the first time in an ODI, said he too would have bowled had he won the toss because of the overnight rain. The experts reckon there would be something on offer for the bowlers in the first ten overs but they believe the pitch would play true and be full of runs. India made one change to their team: Pragyan Ojha, the left-arm spinner, replaced the injured Vinay Kumar.

India: 1 M Vijay, 2 Dinesh Karthik (wk), 3 Suresh Raina (capt), 4 Virat Kohli, 5 Rohit Sharma, 6 Yusuf Pathan, 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 Ashok Dinda, 9 Amit Mishra, 10 Pragyan Ojha, 11 Umesh Yadav. 

Sri Lanka:1 Upul Tharanga, 2 Tillakaratne Dilshan (capt & wk), 3 Chamara Silva, 4 Thilan Samaraweera, 5 Angelo Mathews, 6 Chamara Kapugedera, 7 Lahiru Thirimanne, 8 Suraj Randiv, 9 Nuwan Kulasekara, 10 Thisara Perera, 11 Dilhara Fernando.
