Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews won the toss and chose to field first against Zimbabwe in the third one-day international in Hambantota on Thursday.

The 33-year-old off-spinner was selected by caretaker coach Walter Chawaguta, who took charge after Dave Houghton's departure last month, citing a loss of control over the team amidst disappointing results. Mufudza's consistent and impressive performances at the domestic level in Zimbabwe paved the way for his inclusion. Additionally, pace bowler Faraz Akram, previously part of the Twenty20 side, is set to make his ODI debut. The scheduled ODI matches are on January 6, 8, and 11, while the team will also play three T20I matches in Colombo on January 14, 16, and 18.
