Sri Lanka now have a chance to complete another series win as the two teams move to Dambulla for the second game on the 13th. Do join us for all the action. For now, cheers and bye..
Charith Asalanka | Sri Lanka Captain - I think when we played in the LPL, chasing teams won because of fast outfield and a shorter boundary, that's why we decided to chase. Jeffrey Vandersay has been with us for a number of years, he didn't get chances with Wanindu in the team, but that's a good headache to have. Not a lot of improvements in this game, we were good in all compartments of the game, we probably can field better. The pitch does get slower as the ball gets old (on taking their time to finish)
Litton Das | Bangladesh Captain - I don't think the toss was crucial, but we didn't get many runs. A couple of balls stayed low and it did so in the second half as well. It's not just today's game, last 7-8 matches, I think the batters who're in nmeed to take responsibilty. 170 would have been a good score with our bowlers, they weren't good, Taskin is our lead bowler and anyone can have a bad day. Rishad has been improving a lot for us.
Kusal Mendis | Player of the Match -
22:08 Local Time, 16:38 GMT, 22:08 IST: A comfortable chase with the openers breaking the back of this chase within the first 4 overs. They came out smashing the ball all over the park and added 78 for the opening wicket inside the first 5 overs. Nissanka smashed a 16-ball 42 and was well supported by Kusal Mendis as they ran amok.
