Tillakaratne Dilshan and Kumar Sangakkara have gone past the 100-run partnership mark in their match against Scotland at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. This is their third consecutive 100+ partnership, which is an all time World Cup record. Both batsmen are looking poised for big hundreds.

Both batsmen started cautiously but have gone full blast after getting to their respective half centuries. Scotland will have to pick wickets or a 350-360 score seems more a certainty than possibility.
