Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat. To me it seemed like the right decision. Their batting lineup is weak. Batsmen cannot be relied upon. So if they are able to collect more than 260 runs by batting first, then they have a chance to win the match. On the other hand, if they go to bat with a target, then there is a possibility of their quick batting disaster. Because batsmen are not able to maintain the continuity of performance.

Sri Lanka scored 94 runs in 20 overs. They lost 4 wickets. Now Asalanka and Shanaka are batting. Asalanka has performed well in every match in this series. Shanaka also batted well in the previous match. If Sri Lanka loses these two wickets, they will not be able to collect even 200 runs.
