Disappointed with the way the match ended – Dasun Shanaka
Sri Lankan team captain Dasun Shanka expressed grief after the defeat against the Indian cricket team (Dasun Shanka on IND vs SL T20I) and said that he should have won this match. India’s score of 163 was not difficult. Our bowlers also did brilliantly but we lost. Dasun Shanaka further said that I am a bit disappointed with the way the match ended. We had to win that game. Our bowling was also very good but we will come back strongly.
