Sir Lankans with two wins under their belt and with immaculate form of their bowlers have a greatest chance to win the T20 cold cup 2014. Defeating South Africans which for many carried the treat of defeat to Sri Lankans in the preliminary round but the defect in the hand of the less fancy English cause a doubt of the sir lankan batting and the think thank strategies reflected in chandimal captaincy.

Before coming to the match against English the real concern of the Sri Lankan team was the performance of their most experienced batters, Mahela and Dilshan, They yet to show any promise as well as the body language in filed does not sagest anything else. Kumar Sangakkara a man with the form of his life sandwich between the two struggling players will be more than additional pressure to the free flowing left hander. Mahela getting back to the runs was a great relief but its not convincingly rich performance where even Mahela could feed from that, for the matchers to come.  For the sake of world cup glory it is crucial Mahela and Dilshan to find the middle of their bats in the next match.

Kusal took protease by surprise, there surly did not anticipate belligerent style of batting by the left hander but surely they were concentrating more towards the veteran aggressor Dilshan. But in the matches to come kusal will target by bowlers with much more detail inspection. Many bowlers will try to target his ribs even though he is a good hooker and puller of the cricket bowl or there will start the proceeding with a spinner by not giving kusal the pace to work with frustrating the inexperience sanath looker like the oppertition will try to make inroad to the untested sir lankan middle order. The importance of the Dilshan in the explosive mood take off pressure form the inexperienced partner if he face with deadlock in the first few over’s. Dilshan with his quick feet and innovative stork play can irritate any bowler in any situation. Thereby giving that extra few balls to kusal that will make the different in the final analysis because now the entire world knows if he gets his eye in, there is no one more destructive than Kusal Perera. In the other hand this might help dilshan to get back in form because it’s easy and sensible striking the bowl hard to get back to the form, where as, Mahela is all about timing.

Chandimal , Angelo and Tissara not having had anything significant in the middle with the bat not going to be good post for the lankans. The match against England we could have starches the boundaries of our middle and lower middle order by giving them few more balls.

It is unfortunate to witness the end of two T20 carries, Mahela and Sanga two of the greatest cricketers of the modern era as well as great humanitarians, there will leave this arena with unforgettable performance and it will be the 2014 T20 WORLD CUP it self.
