India should field first. As any score India puts up if they bat first, our bowling is not good enough to take care of Jayasurya and company. However, if we bowl first, luck may favour us and we bowl out SL for a reasonable score. This also ensures that we play/bat to make sure SL qualifies for the 2nd round and not Bangladesh as then we can carry forward 2 points. This aint match fixing. Remember how Australia batted slowly against Windies in 1999 to ensure NZ do not qualify.
