Adelaide : Sri Lanka lost both openers Tillakaratne Dilshan (4) and Sanath Jayasiriya (0) early after they won the toss and opted to bat against India in the key eighth one-day international of the Commonwealth Bank triangular series here Tuesday.
India replaced medium pacer Sreesanth with all-rounder Parveen Kumar while Sri Lanka included Ishara Amerasinghe in place of Nuwan Kulasekara at the Adelaide Oval.
