Sri Lanka are still to peak at the World Cup, vice-captain Mahela Jayawardene said yesterday, as the 1996 champions prepare to tackle Zimbabwe and book a quarter-final spot.
"I think we can still improve on our batting, try to bat for longer periods and make sure we build partnerships. Even on the field there is always room to improve.
"We are a very hard-working side when it comes to fielding. We just have to keep improving and make sure we make the most of half-chances." Jayawardene also warned his team not to under-estimate Zimbabwe who still have an outside chance of making the last eight.
"We rank Zimbabwe with any other team. I think they are a very good all-round side and we know they can be a surprise package so we are not taking anything lightly," Jayawardene said.
