Kumar Sangakkara became the first man ever to score four consecutive centuries in one-day international cricket, per ESPN Cricinfo , as another magnificent knock helped Sri Lanka to a comfortable 148-run win over Scotland at the 2015 World Cup.
The 2011 runners-up piled on the runs after batting first, with Sangakkara (124) and Tillakaratne Dilshan (104) the standout men in a total of 363/9 from their 50 overs. It was always going to be a tough one for the Scots to chase down and despite a fine 70 from Freddie Coleman, they could only muster 215 in response.
Here’s how that match impacts the Pool A standings, a look at the remaining schedule for this year’s competition and a closer examination of a fine performance from Sri Lanka.
