India have gone with the same team that featured against New Zealand in their last game whereas Sri Lanka have made one change.

"It's a good opportunity to chase. It's good for us. We are sticking with the same players that played in the last match. We are doing quite well and we don't want to try anything else. We are winning, we need to keep doing the right things," said India captain Harmanpreet Kaur.
