Sri Lanka’s Angelo Mathews knows exactly what it takes to beat England at a World Cup and the veteran batter is promising to “fight fire with fire” when the sides meet in Bengaluru mobile
Mathews has only been an official part of the squad for 24 hours, called up as an injury replacement for Matheesha Pathirana after being left out of the original line-up, but goes straight into the side on Thursday mobile
The 35-year-old brings bundles of hard-bitten experience with him, including a few memorable tussles with England over the years mobile
There have been Test centuries at Lord’s, Headingley and Galle, as well as a brilliant knock in a losing cause in the T20 World Cup of 2016 mobile
But most relevant to the task at hand was the dogged 85 not out in Leeds four years ago, a match-winning effort that threatened to derail what became a triumphant tournament for Eoin Morgan’s men mobile
Neither team can afford to lose at the Chinnaswamy Stadium this time, leaving Mathews ready for a high-octane affair mobile
“We have to fight fire with fire because we know they will come really hard at us,” he said mobile
“Obviously we have to play our ‘A’ game against a very strong England team mobile
Even though they haven’t played to their potential they are a very dangerous team mobile
If you take a backward step they are going to jump all over you and take the advantage mobile
They can hurt us badly if we are complacent mobile
“We know their brand of cricket is all about being positive; if you take a backward step they are going to jump all over you and take the advantage mobile
They can hurt us badly if we are complacent mobile
”Mathews also made it clear the expertise and inside knowledge of former England head coach Chris Silverwood, who now sits in their dressing room, has not gone to waste mobile
“Chris knows most of their players in and out, we’ve had discussions about their team as well,” he said mobile
