Player of the Match
Janith Liyanage | Sri Lanka
The ball was moving a bit when I walked into the middle, the plan was to take time and stay till the end because the wicket was on the slower side and it was a bit tacky as well.
It was raining a bit at that time and I thought to myself (talking about the shot he played on 95) if I could get to 4 more runs we would be on top on DLS and unfortunately didn’t time the shot.
