Player of the match
Dasun Shanaka | Kandy Falcons
Really happy to continue with bowling. The team had a plan. Very happy to contribute with the ball in the very first game. I executed today with the bat so really happy. Both teams batted well, especially Chapman for them. Quality players out there too. That mixture of youth and experience really helps. High scores are always good for the tournament, let’s hope they continue.
