India once again won the toss and opted to bat at the Premadasa Stadium in the fourth ODI.

Having already won the series, India have made a few changes to their side. Mumbai men Sachin Tendulkar and Zaheer Khan have been rested, and Rohit Sharma, who played the first ODI, and Irfan Pathan will replace them.

Sri Lanka have also made one change with Ajantha Mendis being rested as Angelo Mathews takes his place.

The pitch at the Premadasa is well rolled and there's very little grass on it to help the pacers. The conditions are bright and sunny and are certain to favour the side batting.
