So a lineup of Dil-Tharanga-Sanga-Jaya seems fine. Jaya even going down to 5.

Think it massively undersells what Mahela can do in these conditions as an opener. I really think with Samaraweera being around and the emergence of Matthews, they should take the punt and send out Dil, Mahela and Sanga as the top 3...

Well, I am talking relative to the others in their side.. Who knows, maybe if we do this, they will end up scoring more?
