Player of the Match
Maheesh Theekshana | Sri Lanka
I knew that I had to lead the attack today with a couple of young guys in the side. I stuck to my strengths and tried to create pressure. With older ball there is no great support off the pitch, but there are enough chances to pick wickets with the new ball. I was keen to get five wickets but I haven’t managed it.
