LUCKNOW: Thanks to a gritty, unbeaten 91 by Sadeera Samarawickrama, Sri Lanka managed to register their maiden victory in the World Cup on Saturday after enduring three losses on the trot.

Pathum Nissanka (54 off 52 balls) set the stage for Samarawickrama and Charith Asalanka who had a 77-run partnership for the fourth wicket.
