T20 World Cup 2024 Match 38: Sri Lanka vs Netherlands| Captains’ Corner

After the bad first two games this win is very healthy for us. The wicket was really good we just wanted to put a 160-170 score on this wicket. With our attack anything over 160 we can defend. In the first two games we lost two or three wickets in the first six overs. Today we didn’t. I think that was the difference. Asalanka has a lot of talent and he proved today what he could do. Kusal Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva also played a role.”

Wanindu Hasaranga(Sri Lanka Captain) said post-match

The wickets were better than we have been playing on, and the margins of error were a bit smaller, and we missed a little bit. With there being a shorter side and the wind going that way – we were slow to react to that. We have to be better at that.

Scott Edwards(Netherlands Captain) said post-match
