We will win World Cup for Murali : Kapugedara

Kapugedara, the SL No 6, is vehement that his team will win the WC for Murali.

"He is a special person, a legend. Everyone in the team wants to give him (Murali) a good send off. We want to win the cup for Murali. It will be a great tribute"- the whirlwind hitter said.

"The Sri Lankan crowd have been very supportive of us, even in bad times. So we are working hard to bring the Cup home again for our supporters too."

A hitter with high potential, Kapugedara, known as Kapu to his teammates said they are ready to meet the fiery Pakis on home soil in front of a supportive SL crowd.

"I think our top order is prepared for the challenge," he said, referring to facing the formidable Paki bowlers, Shoaib Akhtar and Shahid Afridi.

"Our top-order has faced good fast bowlers before. We have had a very good stint in Australia too (last year). The guys are up for the challenge and we are looking forward to delivering the goods.,"

"Pakistan are a good team. A good combination of bowlers and batsmen. Yes the pressure is there when we play them. But then again, we are also a good team with a good combination. Saturday's game should be good." he said.
