Jayawardene said whole team will learn from mistakes

The Sri Lanka captain, Mahela Jayawardene believes his team will need improvement to improve the mistakes they made in the first two games if they are to challenge a 'confident and consistent' Indian side in the remaining three matches of the ODI series. Down 2-0, Sri Lanka are one loss away from conceding the series, and Jayawardene said the team realises the importance of Tuesday's game at the Premadasa Stadium.
"We know exactly if we lose this we lose the series. This game is very crucial for us. We can't think too far ahead of ourselves but try and concentrate on the game at hand," he said. "I don't have to tell the boys. They understand the situation that we are in. I am happy with the way the guys are playing. There is nothing for me to tell to pull their socks up. They understand the mistakes we made in different areas of our game."
