Unsurprisingly, Angelo Mathews said Sri Lanka could have done with 20 more runs, but placed blame for defeat at his spinners ineffectiveness on a track as dry as they have played on in three months. It was a strange wicket, Mathews said. It was turning square, but we couldnt take wickets and no one really bowled well apart from Sachithra. We actually though 240 would be a challenging score on that wicket, because it only got worse. We started to bowl well after the 40th over, and by that time it was too late for us. Mathews said Rangana Herath would have been dangerous on that wicket had he been fit, but two days after being cleared to bowl again in internationals, Senanayake has already made a strong claim for a World Cup place. He opened the bowling from one end on Thursday, resuming the Powerplay bowling role he had performed prior to his ban. Though he did not achieve a lot of turn in his first spell, he dismissed both openers and conceded only 17 in his first five overs.
