Asia Cup: India wins toss, elects to bowl against Sri Lanka

Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss Sunday and opted to bowl first against defending champion Sri Lanka in the final of the Asia Cup at National Stadium.

India made one change from the team that won its last Super Four game against Sri Lanka on Thursday with middle-order batsman Robin Uthappa replacing fast bowler Praveen Kumar.

Sri Lanka brought in main bowlers — left-arm paceman Chaminda Vaas and spinner Ajantha Mendis — who replaced fast bowlers Kaushal Weeraratne and Dilhara Fernando.
