Player of the Match

Kamindo mistakes | Sri Lanka There were some quick wickets in the middle, so I thought if I can spend 5-6 balls, I can then try and finish the game. I had to hit some boundaries in the situation, I just kept calm and expressed myself. It was a good surface, they batted really well, so did our openers, was a good wicket
