Sri Lanka bowl first in must-win game, bring in Asalanka for Mishara

New Zealand left out Neesham for offspinner and batter Cole McConchie

Toss Sri Lanka chose to bowl vs New Zealand

Under lights with a big crowd building up for Sri Lanka's must-win encounter, Dasun Shanaka opted to put New Zealand in at the Premadasa. Sri Lanka made one change, with Kamil Mishara replaced by Charith Asalanka. After their loss to England in the opening match, Sri Lanka must now win both Super Eight games to join England in the semi-finals.

It is New Zealand's first game in Sri Lanka after their match against Pakistan was washed out. It takes place on a dry pitch, which should carry some interest for seam bowlers. New Zealand, however, made one change the other way, with seam-bowling allrounder James Neesham sitting out for offspinner and batter Cole McConchie.
