Australia's Mitchell Johnson took six wickets to restrict Sri Lanka to 191 in the first One Day International match at the Pallekele International Stadium today. Sri Lanka captain Tillakaratne Dilshan won the toss and decided to bat with Upul Tharanga who returned to the host side after a three-match ban.
Sri Lanka lost quick wickets for 117 for 7 but Suraj Randiv and Nuwan Kulasekara scored a 60-run partnership to bring the total to 191. Although Sri Lanka's fast bowler Lasith Malinga was fit and ready to face the visitors in the five-match one-day series, he has been rested for the first match.
