Pallekele - Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene elected to field after winning the toss against New Zealand in the third one-day international in Pallekele on Tuesday.
Sri Lanka lead 1-0 in the five-match series following their 14-run win in the second match on Sunday. The opening one-dayer was called off without a ball being bowled due to rain at the same venue.
New Zealand made two changes from the side that played the last match, bringing in fit-again Brendon McCullum and all-rounder Jacob Oram in place of Tom Latham and Andrew Ellis.
Sri Lanka retained the team.
New Zealand: Ross Taylor (capt), Rob Nicol, Brendon McCullum, Kane Williamson, James Franklin, Bradley-John Watling, Nathan McCullum, Jacob Oram, Kyle Mills, Tim Southee, Trent Boult.
