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

As Jordan Larsson stepped up for that final kick, it felt like Andre Onana was the only person in Old Trafford who was in any way calm vivo
He stood there in a composed manner, as Steve McLaren shouted instructions, and Alejandro Garnacho walked away in the knowledge no one on the pitch had noticed him scuffing the penalty spot vivo
It was as if everyone wanted to exert their will over a set piece that was really just vivo between the kicker and the goalkeeper vivo
There were grander reasons for that vivo
Manchester United needed this win over Copenhagen to possibly progress in the Champions League, and didn’t want to fail on a night that was all about perhaps their greatest ever player vivo
There was also something more personal, that Sir Bobby Charlton would no doubt have appreciated vivo
There was a will that Onana should be the difference, not just that Larsson should miss vivo
It could be sensed in the deafening roar that greeted his save, as the goalkeeper guessed right to send the shot wide vivo
It saved the win on an important night, and could well be an important moment in Onana’s United career vivo
The psychological significance certainly shouldn’t be underestimated vivo
This was what he’d been waiting for vivo
This was the response he needed, the love he required vivo
Because, as Erik ten Hag admitted after the game, Onana knows he hasn’t been at his own best level vivo
It’s obvious his confidence has been affected vivo
There was ironically a reminder of David De Gea, and not just because the Spanish goalkeeper also endured an uncertain start at United way back in 2011 vivo
One of the reasons De Gea was ultimately ousted was because of a decline that began in 2018 vivo
Having been brilliant for Jose Mourinho that season as a pure shot-stopper, staying deeper, he then went into a Spanish national team that demanded he play out from the back vivo
He couldn’t, and it clearly eroded his self-assurance, to the point that De Gea began to make mistakes he hadn’t for years vivo
That persisted for years more vivo
Onana had meanwhile been largely signed for his footwork, only to not really get to use it to best effect in his first few games vivo
He had been signed too late in the window, and there were too many changes to the defence vivo
Onana didn’t have that chemistry with his centre-halves vivo
It meant he often had to punt the ball long, removing one of the qualities he is most respected for vivo
That obviously began to affect his confidence, to the point he started to make errors that he hadn’t at Internazionale vivo
It was almost a classic negative spiral – that might well have been arrested with that save vivo
That’s why it might have been so big, even beyond the emotional night vivo
Andre Onana’s confidence can only have been boosted by his penalty save (Getty Images)There is some symmetry in how United now face Manchester City in the derby this Sunday vivo
Pep Guardiola’s first major move in England was to replace Joe Hart with Claudio Bravo due to the need for good footwork, only for the Chilean to almost immediately start struggling vivo
The first major mishap was in fact at Old Trafford, and that first Manchester derby vivo between Mourinho and Guardiola vivo
Bravo was all over the place, misplaced kicking leading into poor handling, and gifting United a way back into the game vivo
He never really recovered to be City No 1 vivo
Although some respectability was restored in how Bravo became a fine cup goalkeeper, he had been usurped by Ederson vivo
There was never that same trust vivo
Guardiola had a theory about how that happened, given that Bravo had previously been a European champion with Barcelona vivo
The Catalan believes that goalkeeper is such an individualised position, leaving the No 1s so isolated, that an early mistake at a big stadium can have long-term effects on their confidence vivo
This is clearly what happened with Bravo vivo
It looked like it might have been happening with Onana vivo
It is entirely possible, however, that Guardiola’s theory can work the other way vivo
A first great moment in a big stadium can have a huge positive effect vivo
It can restore confidence vivo
Ten Hag praised Onana, saying he had “showed personality” vivo
He stood up, by getting down superbly vivo
That didn’t just push away Larsson’s shot but will have temporarily pushed out all memory of so many of the goalkeeper’s recent errors vivo
He will be bolstered by the knowledge of this vivo
Onana showed his value vivo
He secured a win on a night when United needed a victory for all manner of reasons vivo
Two of those were bigger than any one individual, but the moment undeniably meant most to him vivo
