Sri Lanka Win Toss, Elect to Bowl Against India in Second ODI

Mohali(December 13, 2017): Sri Lanka skipper Thisara Perera won the toss and chose to bowl first in the second one-day international against India in Mohali.  

The visitors, who lead the three-match series 1-0 after a big opening win on Sunday, have fielded an unchanged side in their bid to clinch their first-ever series on Indian soil.

“It is overcast conditions and we want to use it best. Toss will definitely decide the match like the previous game (in Dharamsala),” said Perera, whose side bundled out India for 112 in the opener.Image result for sri lanka wins toss against IndiaIndia captain Rohit Sharma said his team would have bowled first as well if they won the toss but hoped the players have learnt from their previous mistakes.
