Sri Lanka skipper Kumar Sangakkara is confident that his team will transfer their good Test form against New Zealand in the upcoming T20I's.

 

The hosts secured a 2-0 whitewash in the recent Test series and Sangakkara is convinced they have the quality to also triumph in the shortest format of the game.

 

"The batting of Tillakaratne Dilshan and Mahela Jayawardene was extraordinary in the Tests and everyone else played their part," said Sangakkara.

 

"Everyone chipped and it just goes to show that if everyone is willing to fight, show character and put in the hard work as a team, results will follow.

 

"I'm sure with those qualities in the side we can walk away with a win."

 

Sangakkara though admitted he is struggling with a happy problem of plenty.

 

"Every game we go into we are looking to win and to give it our best," he said.

 

"We've got to think long and hard about our combination for tomorrow's game.

 

"One good thing over the last two years with coach Chandika Hathurusinghe doing some great work with the A side is that we have a lot of young players coming through with top quality.

 

"So the talent is there and if we do our homework right, be confident, prepare as best as we can and go out there looking to win, and if our attitude is positive, we will do well."
