Sri Lanka shake off injury concerns to skipper and star spinner ahead of quarter-final at the SCG on Wednesday
Sri Lanka are "100 per cent sure" captain Angelo Mathews will be fit for their quarter-final in Sydney next week and are also hopeful spinner Rangana Herath will be available to play.
Mathews suffered soreness in his achilles tendon while batting during Sri Lanka's win over Scotland on Wednesday and did not take the field for the Scots' run chase.
A team spokesman told cricket.com.au he was "100 per cent sure" Mathews would be fit for their quarter-final on March 18, adding the skipper had not been sent for scans, contrary to media reports.
Mathews is set to rest and be assessed again in the next couple of days.
Speaking after the win over the Scots in Hobart, Mathews was hopeful he had not suffered a significant injury.
