Sri Lanka's captain Mahela Jaywardene won the toss and chose to bowl first against Australia in the third triangular series final at Adelaide Oval.

Carrying the momentum from their eight-wicket victory in the second final, the visitors named an unchanged team, with a long batting line-up stretching to Chamara Kapugedera at No. 7.

The hosts have been forced into two changes, with the captain Michael Clarke dropping out due to a serious hamstring strain, while James Pattinson is missing due to a glute strain. Peter Forrest and the offspinner Nathan Lyon, making his ODI debut, have taken their places.

The match is being played on the same pitch used for Tuesday's match, offering the likelihood of a slower, spinning surface as the contest develops.
