Sri Lanka lost the toss but couldn't have hoped for a better outcome, surely. Meanwhile,

 Akash informs that Bumrah - who's been rested for this one - has been practising with 

a red ball for over 30 minutes now. Already looking forward to South Africa. As for how

 much is enough at the Wankhede, nothing is enough. I mean that wholeheartedly. 

Targets have been chased down for fun over here, so unless the pitch is unusual or 

sluggish, Sri Lanka better get 200 at least.

Teams:

Sri Lanka (Playing XI): Niroshan Dickwella(w), Upul Tharanga, Kusal Perera, Danushka Gunathilaka, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Asela Gunaratne, Dasun Shanaka, 

Thisara Perera(c), Akila Dananjaya, Dushmantha Chameera, Nuwan Pradeep

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Lokesh Rahul, MS Dhoni(w), Shreyas Iyer, Manish

 Pandey, Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jaydev 

Unadkat, Mohammed Siraj

Perera: Toss doesn't matter, have to stick to our plans. Already told my teammates

 to give 100% and keep their confidence up. Hope the boys can do something special 

tonight. Kusal and Tharanga are really big hitters. We have good options with these two.

 Two changes. Gunathilaka and Shanaka in for de Silva and Mathews.

Rohit: We are looking to field. Don't think it will change a lot. Just wanted to change

 it a bit, we've been batting first. This time of year, any ground in India, there will be

 dew factor. We just have to play the game we've been playing. We've played enough

 cricket to understand what to do when conditions change. Things have been wonderful, god 

has been kind. Making the team win is the most important thing for me. Not just one

 individual, as a team we have played good cricket. Been a great home season for us.

 Want to come out here and have good fun. Will be a great crowd, Mumbai is known 

for that. Want to come out and put a smile on their faces. Two changes. Washington 

Sundar will make his debut and Siraj comes in. Chahal and Bumrah miss out.

India have won the toss and have opted to field

Pitch report: "Flat road, no bumps. Will be another run-fest. Little bit of grass covering, will help the ball to come onto the bat more. Some brown patches which could help the spinners. 198 is the average score here at the Wankhede," is what Sunil Gavaskar and Russell Arnold have to say about this pitch.

18.20 local: Sri Lanka will be without Angelo Mathews who injured his hamstring in the previous game. That previous game. Let me elaborate a little bit more why I'm so down on Sri Lanka right now. Yes, Kusal Perera impressed with the bat and gave the chase a genuine shot. But as soon as he got out, their batting just collapsed. They just dropped dead right there. Their bowling, when faced with tracks without green grass which does photosynthesis, has offered absolutely nothing. Don't know what else to say. Back for the toss in 10 minutes. By the way, it's now confirmed that Washington Sundar is to make his T20I debut. Back in a bit..

India are expected to dole out a few chances to some of their youngsters on the bench. Our correspondent, Akash Sarkar, informs that Washington Sundar may just have been given his T20I cap, although he's not very sure from afar. Won't be surprised if that is indeed the case.
