NOTTINGHAM, England: Kumar Sangakkara celebrated his first stint as Sri Lanka's captain by dumping mighty Australia from the World Twenty20, then warned rivals he was hungry for more scalps.
"I can't ask for more, but this is just the start. We want to continue in the same vein," he said after the six-wicket win against Australia at Trent Bridge on Monday night.
The left-hander himself led from the front with an unbeaten 55, building on the robust 53 off 32 balls by Tillakaratne Dilshan, as Sri Lanka surpassed Australia's 159-9 with six balls to spare.
