“We have played much against Pakistan before and are aware of their strength. We must and we will win against Pakistan,” she told BBC Sandeshaya.
Sri Lanka meets Pakistan on Friday at Taunton and it is Polgampola’s first international game as the Sri Lanka skipper.
She takes over from the reigns from Sashikala Siriwardene who is not selected for the current tour.
Strong partnership
“Our bowlers are doing a pretty good job at the moment but we need to improve batting. I have a good plan for Pakistan and I hope our batswomen will enter into strong partnerships,” she said.
Sri Lanka's other contenders are England and India at the group stage.
Skipper Polgampola says both teams are very talented and will be a strong challenge for Sri Lanka.
High morale
“But we will be able to face both England and India with high morale after winning against Pakistan. And as it is a Twnety20 game the team that plays well on the day will have the advantage,” she told bbcsinhala.com.
On Tuesday, Sri Lanka only managed to score 80 runs at the second practice match against West Indies.
West Indies secured an easy victory by 40 runs but Polgampola is confident that the team will bounce back from that experience.
“We missed few catches at the last stage otherwise we would have secured an easy victory”
