Adelaide, Mar 8 : Hello and Welcome to the live coverage of the third final of the CB series. The teams are even at 1-1 in the best of three finals and this match is likely to be as exciting as the first two, and the rest of the tournament. Clarke and James Pattinson have been ruled out for Australia, Shane Watson will captain them today. Nathan Lyon will debut for Australia.

Pitch Report: It is a much warmer afternoon today. The pitch looks a lot drier. It will be difficult to chase on this track. The pitch will be a lot slower and the bounce will become inconsistent as the match wears on. Batting first should be ideal for the team winning the toss. The experts feel that both teams will look to add some extra spin options.

Sri Lanka have won the toss and elected to field

Watson: We would have batted first. It has been fun to captain this side. We did not defend well in the last game and we have worked out on that. Wade and Warner will open.
Lyon and Forrest come into the team instead of Pattinson and Clarke. We are looking forward to a great game.

Mahela: We will bowl first, our combination makes us better chasers. Dilshan gives the perfect balance to our team. We always go into the middle believing that we can win against any team. We will go in with a positive attitude.
