Welllage says Sri Lanka can rescue T20 World Cup campaign
They must beat New Zealand in the Super Eights clash in Colombo on Wednesday or they will be out before their final match against Pakistan.
Sri Lanka were left on the brink after being blasted out for 95 against England to lose by 51 runs a day after New Zealand and Pakistan took a point each from a washout.
"We have got to now win both these games," left-arm spinner Wellalage told reporters.
"We know how important a home World Cup is. The fans have turned up in numbers and we have always believed that we can make it to the semi-finals.
