Sri Lanka skipper Charith Asalanka won the toss and elected to bat against India in the second one-day international after the hosts lost spinner Wanindu Hasaranga due to injury on Sunday.


Hasaranga has been ruled of the three-match series after he injured his hamstring during the opener, which ended in a tie. The two teams now look for a lead in Colombo.


Sri Lanka made two changes to their team with Kamindu Mendis and Jeffrey Vandersay coming in for Hasaranga and Mohamed Shiraz.


Sri Lanka are battling injuries with fast bowlers Matheesha Pathirana (shoulder) and Dilshan Madushanka (hamstring) ruled out ahead of the series.


India, led by Rohit Sharma, come in unchanged after they faltered in their chase on Friday to be all out for 230 and end level with Sri Lanka.


With no Super Over on offer, the match ended in a tie but a Sri Lankan newspaper reported Sunday the match officials missed out playing the decider over after playing conditions changed in December.


However, there has been no official word on this and none of the teams have filed a complaint.
