Hello and welcome to Cricinfo's coverage of the fourth ODI between Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka being played in Harare. The home team staged a spirited fightback in the third game, after their appalling performance in the first two, and came close to causing an upset, losing by just five runs. Their openers Vusi Sibanda and Hamilton Masakadza provided them a fitting start, and Tatenda Taibu swept virtually delivery he faced off Mendis and Muralitharan, to give the visitors a real scare. Their fans would be hoping for a similar display today, and we should expect a better crowd this time at the Harare Sports Club after three poorly attended games.

We are still waiting for the toss so you can read Cricinfo's preview to the fourth ODI in the meantime.

There's no chance of rain today, it's bright and sunny in Harare, so we should expect a full game.

Sri Lanka have won the toss and opted to field. Three changes for SL- Maharoof, Kulasekara, and Murali are out. Dilhara Fernando, Dhammika Prasad and Angelo Matthews get a look-in for this game

Sean Williams misses out for Zimbabwe due to an illness. He's replaced by Keith Dabengwa.

Sibanda and Masakadza will open. Fernando to bowl for SL
