Kamindu Mendis | Player of the Match: Actually, in the middle, I just wanted to keep my momentum going, score runs, and build a partnership with Kusal Mendis. That was the main focus - to keep the scoreboard ticking. They played really well till the 15th over. Credit goes to our bowlers. After the 16th over, the bowlers, especially Hasaranga, Theekshana and Chameera, bowled really well. Big credit to them. They executed their plans and managed to keep Ireland under 150. We thought the same initially, that it would be a 170-plus wicket. But once the spinners started bowling, it felt more like a 160 wicket. So the plan was to get past 160 and then defend it, which we did. It was very important. It was a good game and a good start to the tournament. The boys did really well. Hasaranga played really well, and overall the team is in a good mindset at the moment.
