Sri Lanka have won the toss and decided to bat first in the 5th and final ODI at JSCA International Stadium Complex, Ranchi on Sunday.
Having decimated the opposition with clinical precision in all four matches, India will be aiming to complete a clean sweep when they take on a struggling Sri Lanka.
With the series already in their pocket, Virat Kohli-led team would like to finish with a 5-0 which will be a confidence booster with the ICC World Cup starting in less than 100 days’ time.
If India have been thoroughly professional in their first three outings, the penultimate one at Eden Gardens, turned out to be historic with Rohit Sharma smashing his way into the record books with a highest individual ODI score of 264 as India routed the islanders by 153 runs.
Captain Angelo Mathews says they are not a team to be beaten by 0-5 and they have to get a big total.
