............................................................................................................................................

Toss: Dhoni has won the toss and will bat. "Of course we would bat. But it's just a start. We need to put up a good total. I would prefer a day game here in Sri Lanka ... Virat Kohli replaces Dinesh Karthik. Some how, we have not played well in the recent finals. It's difficult to say exactly why. I guess it's something that has accumulated over the years where we have lost a few finals."

Sanga: "You can't have everything going your way every time. Today, we need to do it under lights. Discipline, line and lengths and pick up some early wickets. We approach all the game similarly and hopefully, we would do well today."

Pitch report Ranil on Ten Sports: "Hardly any grass. It's very dry. Nice and flat. It would be good for about 70 overs and it then starts getting slow. Scoring would then get difficult. The team batting second should restrict the opposition to around 250."

Sri Lanka: (probable) 1 Sanath Jayasuriya, 2 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 3 Kumar Sangakkara (capt & wk), 4 Mahela Jayawardene, 5 Chamara Kapugedera/Thilan Samaraweera, 6 Thilina Kandamby, 7 Angelo Mathews, 8 Thilan Thushara, 9 Nuwan Kulasekara, 10 Muttiah Muralitharan, 11 Lasith Malinga.

India: (probable) 1 Dinesh Karthik/Virat Kohli, 2 Sachin Tendulkar, 3 Rahul Dravid, 4 Yuvraj Singh, 5 MS Dhoni (capt & wk), 6 Suresh Raina, 7 Yusuf Pathan/Abhishek Nayar, 8 Harbhajan Singh, 9 RP Singh/Praveen Kumar, 10 Ishant Sharma, 11 Ashish Nehra.
