Sri Lanka have won the toss and decided to field first against India in the finals of the ICC World Twenty20 at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur.
Both teams have played brilliantly throughout the fifth edition of the coveted tournament and in the finals it would be the battle of nerves.
India team is still unbeaten in the tournament and would like to maintain its winning streak. On the other hand, Sri Lanka would love to give a fitting farewell to two of their senior pros, Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara, who will be playing in their last T20 International, as they have announced retirement from the shortest format of the game.
One change for Sri Lanka. Thisara Perera comes in for Seekkuge Prasanna. On the other hand, India are playing with the same XI.
The teams for the ICC World Twenty20 Final:
- India: MS Dhoni(c/wk), Varun Aaron, Ravichandran Ashwin, Stuart Binny, Shikhar Dhawan, Ravindra Jadeja, Virat Kohli, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Amit Mishra, Mohammed Shami, Ajinkya Rahane, Suresh Raina, Mohit Sharma, Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh
- Sri Lanka: Dinesh Chandimal(c), Lasith Malinga, Chaturanga de Silva, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Rangana Herath, Mahela Jayawardene, Nuwan Kulasekara, Suranga Lakmal, Angelo Mathews, Ajantha Mendis, Kusal Perera, Thisara Perera, Seekkuge Prasanna, Kumar Sangakkara(wk), Sachithra Senanayake, Lahiru Thirimanne
