SL ready for ENG test in Super 8 clash: Sri Lanka fielding coach Sridhar

Fielding coach R Sridhar on Saturday said Sri Lanka have moved on from their home 0-3 drubbing by England in the run-up to the T20 World Cup, and believed that his side is now better equipped to react to different situations in Sunday's Super Eights match against the Three Lions here. England whitewashed Sri Lanka in a three-match T20I series just seven days before the start of the ongoing T20 World Cup, but Sridhar did not count that as a deterrent in producing a good outing against Harry Brook's side. "At this stage of this tournament, it's a lot different from what a bilateral series is. I mean, bilateral series and private leagues, there's no pressure as much as it would be in a World Cup Super-8 game. And it is for all teams. It is for all teams, whether it is England, whether it is Sri Lanka, whether it is India or Pakistan, whoever it is, when you're playing a super 8 game, you will not play with the same freedom as you would do in a bilateral or a private league," Sridhar sai

Dasun Shanaka deems Sri Lanka's display vs Australia as 'one of the best'

Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka on Monday described his team's win over Australia in the T20 World Cup here as "one of the best performances in recent past". Swashbuckling opener Pathum Nissanka struck a belligerent 52-ball 100 to power Sri Lanka to an eight-wicket win and secure their place in the Super Eights. "One of the best performances in recent past. Happy about the way first innings went," Shanaka said at the presentation ceremony. Set a record target of 182 at this venue, Sri Lanka rode on Nissanka's unbeaten knock and Kusal Mendis's 38-ball 51 to complete the task in 18 overs and leave Australia's qualification hopes hanging by a thread. Sri Lanka suffered a blow while Australia were batting as pacer Matheesha Pathirana had to be taken off the attack after suffering a hamstring injury in his first over.
