Dasun Shanaka heaps praise on Sri Lankan squad
"I think it was a really good performance with bat and ball. Dhananjaya de Silva batted really well as he bowled excellently with the ball. Wanindu also bowled well and gave us the win today. I think that gave us momentum and helped us to win today."
"It gave us confidence as well. I think we cannot think about the other games as that is beyond our control. What's under our control is to focus on our final game and hope to win that and see what happens. We have to control what is in our control. Let's hope for the best."
Sri Lanka's next venture
Even though Sri Lanka's place in the semi-finals is unlikely they might wiggle through if everything goes right and they end up on top of the Group. the Lankans are currently third in the group. They face Australia in their final match of the Super 12 stage.
