Sri Lankan captain Mahela Jayawardene won the toss and elected to field against India in the fifth one-day international of the CB tri-series at the Manuka Oval in Canberra on Tuesday.

The start of the match was delayed by nearly three and half hours because of heavy rain, reducing it to 29 overs a side.

India retained the same eleven that beat Australia in Melbourne on Sunday.

Sri Lanka made two changes, including Farveez Maharoof and Nuwan Kulasekara in place of opener Upul Tharanga and seamer Ishan Amerasinghe.

The three power-plays will be for six, three and two overs respectively. Four bowlers can bowl six overs each while one can bowl five.

Teams:

India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh, Robin Uthappa, Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Ishant Sharma and S Sreesanth.

Sri Lanka: Mahela Jayawardene (captain), Sanath Jayasuriya, Kumara Sangakkara, Chamara Silva, Chamara Kapudegera, Farveez Maharoof, Chaminda Vaas, Lasith Malinga, Muttiah Muralitharan, Tillakaratne Dilshan and Nuwan Kulasekara.
