Player of the match
Tabraiz Shamsi | Galle Titans
It is a little bit of fun when you take a wicket. Myself, personally I take a lot of pride in my performances. I am getting into my groove towards the business end of the game. The surface was helpful but we had to put it into the right areas.
Lot of credit to the fast bowlers. Kumara and other guys deserve a lot of credit. I would like to dedicate this to my wife and my son who is a little ill.
