Sri Lanka wicketkeeper Kumar Sangakkara has backed his bowlers to test Australia's new-look order should the Bellerive wicket retain its recent "sporting" characteristics.
"We've seen some of the games that [Australia] has played. There's been a bit of nibble about but it's been sporting to both sides," he said.
"If it stays the same, I think our fast bowlers will have a really good chance against the Aussie batsmen."
Sangakkara also confirmed Sri Lanka would decide between once-capped left-hander Dimuth Karunaratne and Tharanga Paranavitana to partner Tillakaratne Dilshan at the top of the order.
