🏏Asia Cup 2022: Sri Lanka v/s Bangladesh, Match--5 🏏 - Page 26

Chris Silverwood, Sri Lanka coach: Obviously with the batting there (won us the game), a couple of big overs under our belt, Mendis doing well and the skipper (Shanaka) coming to the party. Probably 2-3 overs in the game where we took the game away from them, we managed to hang in with the rate all the way along, Bangladesh never got in front of us and that was great. (The message to the batters) Was to be calm, it is a good surface here and we knew we could get runs, if you keep wickets in hand then you can score heavily in the last 10 overs. There is no rocket science, just suggestions to the captain on what would be a good match up, there are a lot of teams doing that now and nothing more (referring to the placards while Sri Lanka were bowling).

Shakib Al Hasan: I think a few poor overs cost us the game. In the last over they were 8 down, but they got there with four balls in hand. That shows we aren't bowling well in the death, but credit to Sri Lanka for the way they batted. I think Dasun did very well. We wanted to pick wickets early, but the bowlers couldn't execute their plans and that's why the spinner bowled the last over. The last six months we haven't played well, but we have been competitive in these last two games. World Cup will be a different challenge now, we have to improve. We feel sorry for our fans, everywhere we go we get such superb support.

Dasun Shanaka: At the middle period, I thought it was tough. But when myself and Kusal were batting, I thought it was acheivable. I think the openers did a good job, we discussed that we needed that opening partnership for the start. Today, that was the key and that's why we chased down this total. I thought of promoting myself, but from the team's point I have to sacrifice to come down and play as a finisher. My first priority is for the team. I think Chamika's run out, we thought the game was gone. But Asitha Fernando scored those two shots very well, these guys have so much potential. It is lovely to see.

And kkr is finished after Gautam Gambhir left.

Exactly, post-Gambhir KKR is a mess. That's why I said I'm a true masochist for choosing to support them despite they put me through 🤪

The sheer frustration 🤬🤬

My pain is slightly less. Waiting for RR to win after 1st season. Is saal ka final toh fix laga mujhe.

No dhoni or anyone else can stop me from hating csk and mi. And I don't like RCB so I never want them to win😆.

I want Delhi or Punjab to win.
