CARDIFF, Wales (AP) Pakistan won the toss and chose to bowl against Sri Lanka in the Champions Trophy at Sophia Gardens on Monday.
The winner of the Group B game will advance to the semifinals, likely against England at the same venue on Wednesday. The loser will be knocked out. India has already qualified from the group.
