Former captain Mahela Jayawardene gets a hug from present captain Kumar Sangakkara after his match winning century

Kumar Sangakkara described his team’s dream run of success against Pakistan as ‘the good times’ but warned them to be also prepared for the bad ones after Sri Lanka had won the third one-day international at Dambulla on Monday and taken an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the five-match series. The fourth match of what is now a dead rubber takes place at the R Premadasa Stadium under lights on Friday.
“When you’ve got a team that’s trying really hard it becomes easier, these are the good times. You got to plan for the bad times as well, which is surely going to come, and make sure you have the reserves, the mental and the physical strength to go through them. If we keep trying to improve we’ll have less bad patches and have more good ones and we can achieve consistency,” said Sangakkara after leading Sri Lanka to a ‘double’ success win in the Tests 2-0 and now in the ODI series in his maiden effort as captain.
