Player of the Match
Kusal Mendis | Sri Lanka Yes, I got back-to-back hundred and fifty. Thanks to Pathum, I could manage my innings. The wicket was slow and turning, we had plenty of balls left, that’s why I slowed down my game. Played my natural game earlier, KJP (Kusal Perera) played well and I wanted to stay till the end. He then thanks the crowd for supporting the team.
