LUCKNOW: Sri Lanka will eye survival when they come up against Australia in the World Cup match at the Ekana Stadium on Monday. For that, they will need wicketkeeper-batter Sadeera Samarawickrama and off-break bowler Maheesh Theekshana to play leading roles.
In the team’s first World Cup match, Sadeera could not perform well and scored just 23 off 19 balls but he shone against Pakistan, smashing a century off just 82 balls to power Sri Lanka to 344-9. Theekshana did not play Sri Lanka’s first match against South Africa because he was still recovering from a hamstring strain sustained during the Asia Cup.
