Dasun Shanaka is the Man of the Match: “At the initial moment when I went out to the crease, I took a few balls to get in. I think my strike rate was around 50. I read the wicket really well and kept my wicket on the other side without throwing it away. And in the end, I was hoping I’d be able to finish the game. Toss is always important in Sri Lanka, and maybe it wasn’t the best decision to bat first. We hope to take this momentum forward into the ODI series.”
Aaron Finch is named Player of the Series: “I’m happy with our performance throughout the series, it was just an unbelievable knock by Dasun tonight. We felt that the pitch slowed down a bit towards the end of our innings, so we didn’t think it made too much of a difference whether we batted first or second. In general, we’re quite comfortable with our side and our options.”
