jayasurya New Zealand strike bowler Shane Bond has one thing on his mind ahead of today’s World Cup semifinal against Sri Lanka — Sanath Jayasuriya.

Bond has admitted that it will be his job to dismiss the free-scoring veteran opener as early as possible to open up a road into the Sri Lanka middle order which can be brilliant and brittle in equal measure.

“If we can get Sanath out early we can probably limit them to 200 runs so it’s my job, especially in this game, to get him out and we’ve always identified him as a key wicket,” said Bond. The Black Caps paceman has 12 wickets at the World Cup so far at the miserly average of 12.83; Jayasuriya, a survivor of the 1996 title-winning team, has 403 runs at 50.37.
