Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka won the toss and elected to bowl first against Zimbabwe in the second and final One Day International of the series at the Harare Sports Club grounds.
Sri Lanka has made one change to the side that won the opening ODI on Friday.
Nuwanidu Fernando has been named in place of Nishan Madushka for the openers slot along with Pathum Nissanka.
Zimbabwe has made two changes to their lineup from the series opener.
Trevor Gwandu and Wesley Madhevere make way for Clive Madande and Ernest Masuku.
At the toss, Sri Lanka skipper Charith Asalanka said he expects the pitch to get better for batting as the game goes on, and therefore prefers to chase.
Zimbabwe captain Sean Williams also said he would have liked to have bowled first.
