'Work in progress' Sri Lanka aim to improve batting, says coach Arthur

Sri Lanka are a "work in progress" and they stand a good chance of success at the Twenty20 World Cup if the team can step up their batting to match the solid bowling attack, coach Mickey Arthur said.

Sri Lanka won the T20 World Cup in 2014 but failed to make it beyond the group stage at the last edition in 2016.

They are in Group A at the World Cup this year and begin their campaign on Oct. 18 with the first of three qualifying games - against Namibia, Ireland and the Netherlands.
