Dasun Shanaka (Sri Lanka Captain): I think there were enough runs on the board for Kumara in the end. He was nailing his yorkers perfectly during the practice sessions and we thought it was the right decision. Going with Wanindu earlier worked out well. He played magnificently. Nissanka has been a classy batter. He's got a bright career ahead & is a bright prospect for Sri Lankan cricket. I was looking at the points table but it will be hard for us after this game.
