Dharmasena, a former Sri Lanka off-spinner and a member of the country’s 1996 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup-winning team, is among the most experienced officials in the tournament.
The group stage clash, a repeat of the final four years ago, will see Dharmasena and Menon joined by TV umpire Paul Wilson, fourth umpire Shahid Saikat, and match referee Javagal Srinath.
In a decision which changed the course of the match, Kumar Dharmasena, after consulting with square leg umpire Marais Erasmus signalled six runs.
Meanwhile, Stokes said that he went to the keeper (Tom Latham) and captain (Kane Williamson) to apologise about his mistake soon after the overthrow incident.
Post the match, the Sri Lankan umpire accepted his mistake but didn't regret the decision. Had Dharmasena given the right decision, the match could have gone either way as the match and the resulting Super Over ended in a tie with England being the eventual winners on boundary count.
Had Dharmasana given the right decision that is 5 runs on the overthrow instead of 6, the match could have gone either way.
In the final over of England’s chase of 242, Stokes accidentally deflected a ball to the third man boundary, while attempting to dive for his crease in a bid to complete his second run.
England will step out at the "home of cricket" on Sunday as favourites to lift the trophy for the first time against a New Zealand side also looking to make history.
