Toss Australia chose to bat v Sri Lanka
Australia's captain George Bailey won the toss and chose to bat first in the Twenty20 international against Sri Lanka at Sydney Olympic Stadium.
The hosts left out the Tasmania allrounder James Faulkner and included the seamer Ben Laughlin for his first international since 2009. This also meant a debut for the Queensland fast bowler Ben Cutting. David Warner will open the batting with Aaron Finch.
Sri Lanka promoted Kushal Perera to open the batting with Tillakaratne Dilshan, with Dinesh Chandimal at No. 3 and the former captain Mahela Jayawardene at No. 4.
The pitch is expected to be a little on the slow side, but the Stadium's short straight boundaries will be an enticing prospect for Finch and Warner when they begin the innings.
