Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to field against Zimbabwe in the second match of the Tri-Nation ODI Series to be played at the Shere Bangla Stadium in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Sri Lanka will go out with six batsmen, two allrounders and three bowlers while Zimbabwe fields an unchanged side that lost against Bangladesh in the series opener.
Sri Lanka fields an entirely changed lineup, where Kusal Perera returns to partner Upul Tharanga while Test skipper Dinesh Chandimal returns to his duties behind the stump as the wicketkeeper and No.3 bat.
Kusal Mendis will come out at No.5 after skipper Mathews followed by allrounders Asela Gunaratne and Thisara Perera.
The rest of the lineup in order are Akila Dananjaya, Suranga Lakmal, Eanindu Hasaranga and Dushmantha Chameera.
This will be Sri Lanka's first match for 2018 as well as the first of Angelo Mathews after he was reappointed as captain and the first under new Head Coach Chandika Hathurusinha.
