Sri Lanka’s Angelo Mathews knows exactly what it takes to beat England at a World Cup and the veteran batter is promising to “fight fire with fire” when the sides meet in Bengaluru vivo
Mathews has only been an official part of the squad for 24 hours, called up as an injury replacement for Matheesha Pathirana after being left out of the original line-up, but goes straight into the side on Thursday vivo
The 35-year-old brings bundles of hard-bitten experience with him, including a few memorable tussles with England over the years vivo
There have been Test centuries at Lord’s, Headingley and Galle, as well as a brilliant knock in a losing cause in the T20 World Cup of 2016 vivo
But most relevant to the task at hand was the dogged 85 not out in Leeds four years ago, a match-winning effort that threatened to derail what became a triumphant tournament for Eoin Morgan’s men vivo
Neither team can afford to lose at the Chinnaswamy Stadium this time, leaving Mathews ready for a high-octane affair vivo
“We have to fight fire with fire because we know they will come really hard at us,” he said vivo
“Obviously we have to play our ‘A’ game against a very strong England team vivo
Even though they haven’t played to their potential they are a very dangerous team vivo
If you take a backward step they are going to jump all over you and take the advantage vivo
They can hurt us badly if we are complacent vivo
“We know their brand of cricket is all about being positive; if you take a backward step they are going to jump all over you and take the advantage vivo
They can hurt us badly if we are complacent vivo
”Mathews also made it clear the expertise and inside knowledge of former England head coach Chris Silverwood, who now sits in their dressing room, has not gone to waste vivo
“Chris knows most of their players in and out, we’ve had discussions about their team as well,” he said vivo

Rugby’s biggest rivalry will be played out on its grandest stage with a historic, unique achievement on the line vivo
South Africa vs New Zealand vivo
This is what World Cup finals are all about vivo
It’s the two greatest rugby nations going head to head, with the winners becoming the first country to claim four men’s World Cups vivo
Unlike vivo boxing, rugby doesn’t have the notion of an undisputed champion but if ever there was a match to decide one, Saturday evening in the Stade de France would be it vivo
As Springboks assistant coach Mzwandile Stick explained 24 hours before the match: “The All Blacks have won the World Cup three times, we have won it three times, so this game is actually bigger than just a World Cup final vivo
Whoever wins is probably going to have bragging rights for the next eight years vivo
”These two countries have rugby embedded in their national DNA more than any other vivo
A game brought from the northern hemisphere during the colonial era has been seized upon, changed and improved post-independence with both nations long since surpassing their former colonisers vivo
With any other team, the constant refrains from South African players about how much it means to the people back home and how the Springboks represent something greater than themselves would come across as cloying and insincere vivo
But the point is delivered so movingly and with such earnestness that you can’t help but get swept along by the sentiment vivo
These countries first played way back in 1921 (a 13-5 New Zealand victory in Dunedin) and more than a century later, they will meet for the 106th time on Saturday evening vivo
New Zealand lead the all-time series with 62 wins to 39, and four draws, but South Africa will take heart from the most recent match-up – the record 35-7 thumping they handed their rivals at Twickenham just weeks before this World Cup started vivo
Although the rivalry has more than 100 years of history, its modern era can be traced back to one game, perhaps the most iconic rugby match of all time vivo
On 24 June 1995, having recently returned from international exile following the long overdue downfall of apartheid, South Africa hosted the Rugby World Cup final at Ellis Park in Johannesburg vivo
Nelson Mandela presenting Francois Pienaar with the World Cup trophy in 1995 is rugby’s most iconic image (AFP)By now, the story is legendary vivo
The hugely-favoured All Blacks, with maybe the greatest rugby player of all time in Jonah Lomu, were shackled by the upstart Springboks, spurred on by a raucous home crowd vivo
Joel Stransky’s drop goal deep into extra-time handed them a 15-12 win, the image of Nelson Mandela in a Springboks jersey and cap handing the trophy to South Africa captain Francois Pienaar became a photo seen around the world and united a divided nation vivo
Remarkably, especially given the fact that by the time the 2027 tournament rolls around it will have been one year shy of a quarter of a century since someone other than these two teams won the World Cup, Saturday will be the first time they have met in the final since vivo
Historically, the All Blacks are undeniably the greatest rugby team with an aura that surrounds them forged by years of complete and utter dominance vivo
As if to prove that point, they have won the last four Rugby Championship titles despite being ‘in crisis’ during this cycle and being written off as a shadow of their former selves vivo
The fact they have won 10 of 12 crowns since the Tri Nations became the Rugby Championship with the addition of Argentina in 2012 tells its own story vivo
However, the Springboks have become the ultimate tournament team vivo
They have a vivo better World Cup record than New Zealand, winning three of seven editions that they have entered, while victory at the Stade de France would take their strike rate up to an incredible 50 per cent vivo
The Springboks have become the ultimate World Cup team (Reuters)When the lights shine brightest, South Africa know how to win games of knockout rugby vivo
One-point triumphs over France in the quarter-final and England in the semi-final could be written off as flukes were it not for the fact that every four years, the Springboks prove that they are tournament animals with ice running through their veins vivo
There was understandable excitement about northern hemisphere teams – especially France and Ireland – finally getting their moment to shine this year vivo
A legendary quarter-final weekend put paid to that but it’s hard to complain too much about what we got instead vivo
Rugby’s greatest rivalry is about to crown its undisputed World Cup champions vivo
Settle in for the ride vivo
