The match is a must-win affair for Sri Lanka if they are to keep themselves in contention for the semi-finals.
Sri Lanka have named a strong 16-member squad led by Charith Asalanka for a six-match white-ball series involving three T20Is followed by three ODIs, against New Zealand.
Sri Lanka have named Charith Asalanka as captain, replacing Kusal Mendis ahead of the three-match series against India, starting on August 2.
Asalanka replaced Wanindu Hasaranga as the captain after the latter had stepped down from the role earlier this month following a six-month stint that concluded with a forgettable campaign at the T20 World Cup, where Sri Lanka failed to reach the Super Eight stage.
