It was a pretty convincing victory today, but we need to be at our best to beat England,\u201d. After a brilliant performance in the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> ODI against Ireland from the batters especially from Kushal Perera who scored a brilliant century and made a brilliant partnership of 148 runs for the first wicket with Gunathilaka (63 off 78 balls)\u00a0 and Prasanna who played an explosive knock of \u00a095 off just 46 balls with 5 fours and 9 maximum at number 3, Mathews said about this performance that, \u00a0\u201cPerera and Danuska Gunathilaka had a brilliant opening partnership (147) and after that solid foundation it was a tactical decision to bring in the pinch-hitter and take the game forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mathews further went on to say \u201cIt was a very good wicket and a tough ask for the bowlers but we stuck to our task, \u201cThey had to bowl good lines and lengths. Having said that, after scoring 377 it was a tough ask for the Irish because they had to go at it from ball one, so we had to bowl dot balls and create pressure,\u201d. In the 5-match ODI series, Sri Lanka will try to continue this \u00a0performance and put some pressure on English Bowlers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WE&#8217;LL HAVE TO GIVE OUR BEST AGAINST ENGLAND SAYS ANGELO MATHEWS &nbsp; &nbsp; Sri Lankan captain Angelo Mathews said about the upcoming ODI series against England after beating Ireland with a massive margin of 136 runs\u00a0 in 2nd ODI that we will have to give our best to beat England in the ODIs.
