Player of Match: Kusal Mendis

Maheesh Theekshana: Really happy about the collective performance in the last two games. The confidence and the atmosphere in the team is really nice. The wicket was a little bit better than the last match, so I thought we'll have to bowl some tight overs in the middle. The wicket was a bit slow. Our plan was to bowl more tight overs. There was little spin when they bowled but we knew we had to bowl better line and length to get wickets. They had 7 or 8 right-handers, we have one great leg-spinner and a left-arm spinner, they did the job for us. He (Asalanka) scored a massive century in the first game and continued his form in the second game. Janith Liyanage finished well and Kusal's hundred was brilliant. It's a collective performance through the game.
