A peak. A potential. This is a paramount that Sri Lanka must reach if they are to win the World Cup. For much of 2014, their armour glistened in the reflections given off by the shiny mantle-ware they managed to gather in the first half of 2014. After a 5-0 drubbing to India, Sri Lanka showed us the quality that made them such a powerful force in the first half of 2014 - their fighting spirit. For the past decade, this is a quality that they failed to harbour during their emotionally blazed losses in World Cup finals. This came to an end last year but a bigger fight lies ahead. A fight that will test them to the limit, examine their emotions and prey on their nerves.
Are they ready for such a fight? Who knows. When it comes to World Cups, Sri Lanka doesn't disappoint. If there was ever an occasion that was tailer-made for them, this is it. With a squad rich in experience and youth which will be driven by a force that goes by the name of Angelo Davis Mathews, the cricketer of 2014, Sri Lanka's chances look good as gold. To get to the gold, Sri Lanka will need the help of it's youngsters; Thirimanne, Chandimal and Dimuth Karunaratne as the engine room of SL's batting has been formed as a compulsory unit of Jayawardene, Mathews, Sangakarra and Dilshan.
