The team has experienced batsmen who are aware of the conditions and have been performing well in the past. We have to move on from this and if we are required to make a change, we will do so.

MI Coach Mahela Jayawardene: We have made some changes so far but not too many, said this Sri Lankan legend. We wanted to maintain consistency in batting.

Our Performance Lacks Consistency:-
