<h1>Farewell to Sangakkara and Jayawardene</h1>

Sri Lanka batsmen Kumar Sangakkara, 37, and Mahela Jayawardene, 37, will resign from one-day internationals after the World Cup.

The pair have played scoring a consolidated 16,835 runs in ODIs, including 5,890 while at the wrinkle together - second just to India's Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly.

Jayawardene was skipper when Sri Lanka were beaten by Australia in Barbados eight years back, while Sangakkara was in control in 2011 as Sri Lanka lost to India in Mumbai notwithstanding a splendid 103 off 88 balls from Jayawardene.

Sri Lanka commander Angelo Mathews said: "Ideally we can make it a chronicled one by winning tomorrow and going into the semis once more.

"Ideally we can go to the last and win there and make it authentic for two legends."
