West Indies captain Darren Sammy won the toss and elected to bat against Sri Lanka in a group one Super Eights match of the World Twenty20 in Pallekele on Saturday.

With both teams having won their opening matches, the winner will almost certainly qualify for the semi-finals from the group, which also includes England and New Zealand.

Both teams made one change from their last games. Sri Lanka dropped injured spinner Akila Dananjaya to play Rangana Herath and the West Indies brought back fast bowler Fidel Edwards in place of spinner Samuel Badree.

Sri Lanka: Mahela Jayawardene (capt), Angelo Mathews, Kumar Sangakkara, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Lahiru Thirimanne, Jeevan Mendis, Thisara Perera, Lasith Malinga, Nuwan Kulasekara, Ajantha Mendis, Rangana Herath.

West Indies: Darren Sammy (capt), Dwayne Bravo, Fidel Edwards, Johnson Charles, Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine, Denesh Ramdin, Ravi Rampaul, Andre Russell, Marlon Samuels.

Umpires: Steve Davis (AUS) and Aleem Dar (PAK)

TV umpire: Simon Taufel (AUS)

Match referee: Javagal Srinath (IND)
