Sri Lanka are chasing a World Cup record, then. Wonder if Kusal Mendis is regretting his decision at the toss yet?
He'll be hoping his openers Pathum Nissanka and Dimuth Karunaratne can put on a good start, otherwise Mendis himself will be in at three having spent 50 overs as captain and wicketkeeper in the scorching heat.
